Experience

Alex has followed the dual paths of writing and cooking since his teenage years, balancing research papers and his first part-time job washing dishes at a restaurant. He earned his salt through years of cooking in fast-paced kitchens, even while serving as the managing editor at his college newspaper and hustling freelance writing on the side. Alex has written about a broad range of topics, including music, hard news, and real estate, but he is happy to combine his two main passions at Daily Meal.

Education

Alex graduated from Kennesaw State University in Georgia with a B.A. in journalism and emerging media
