After completing his studies at Clark in 2012, he transferred to Renton Technical College, where he completed the certificate program in Band Instrument Repair Technology in June 2013.

As our resident low-brass geek, Alex plays tuba, trombone, and euphonium. We're pleased to have him back with us. He's rapidly expanding his skills as he works alongside our senior technicians, who find his quirky sense of humor a great asset!
