Alex lives in New York City with his wife and two children.

In between leading the go-to market team at a software company, parenting, and finding available parking in Manhattan, Alex thought that taking on another full-time project was a good idea—hence the Voyage of Rediscovery.

Part of the inspiration for the project was the passing of Alex’s father, an experience that reminds him every day how precious time is, and how much richer life can be when we savor its fleeting moments.

For Alex, Semester at Sea was a magical and unforgettable experience.

He hopes that this Voyage of Rediscovery will not only serve as a legacy for his children, but that it will encourage others to reconnect and remember, and also—through The Fall 1998 Scholarship Fund—provide young people with the means and opportunity to experience Semester at Sea for themselves.
