Stage combat coordinator Alexander grew up in the very multicultural Birmingham in the UK. His journey  started at college training as an actor. His acting teacher's best mate was a guy called Scott Adkins  (who also went to the same college) Scott would come in fairly regularly  and give talks on stunting and acting which inspired Alexander to become one.  Alexander was lucky enough to get into the  only drama school in the world where you can get a degree in acting and  stage combat. 

 Alexander worked with Scott briefly on Green Street 3 as soon as  he graduated and started straight into working at the East End for the Royal  Opera House  as a resident fighters and then fight directing  for a huge company called “secret cinema”

Later he decided to visit New Zealand to  "door knock" after falling in love with the Lord of the Rings films  and started hustling like he did in the UK messaging  everyone in the Stunt Guild of New Zealand.

Within  a year Alexander was Teaching/ choreographing for most of the training  institutions for actors and theaters in New Zealand.
