He attended Galt Collegiate Institute and went onto study medicine at the University of Toronto. He earned his Medical Degree and was elected Class President of his graduating class. He served in the Canadian Armed Forces as a medical officer which took him to Cold Lake, Alberta, Trenton, Ontario and many overseas missions. Alex set up a family practice in Scarborough and maintained that practice for many years. He then worked in Palliative Care at Providence Healthcare.
