About

Howdy! 👋

My name is Alex. Let me tell you a bit about myself.

I’m a Security Researcher at Automattic. We are passionate about making the web a better place.

I was born and raised in Nova Scotia, Canada. I live close to the Bay of Fundy, where we boast the highest tides in the world. Our tides can range up to 40-50 feet!

I’m a musician and singer. I play mainly guitar and drums.

I’m a chess player, and although I’m solidly intermediate right now, I want to become a master-level player.

I was really into juggling for a while, and still do so occasionally. I can juggle 5 balls.

I love good coffee.

I’m a space geek, and I’m especially fond of SpaceX. If space tourism becomes remotely affordable in my lifetime, I’m definitely going.

My wife, Sarah, and I enjoy hiking, biking, camping, movies, and music. We perform in a musical theatre group together. We also have a dog and several small birds.
