Alex is based in Philadelphia, and after leaving Drexel University early, he started building websites for businesses. As he was freelancing, he had a deep desire for a community as he worked. He teamed up with a few friends to start Indy Hall, one of the first coworking spaces in the US, in 2006. For reference, WeWork didn’t start until 2010. Indy Hall has become a staple in Philadelphia and has grown to hundreds of members. Alex teamed up with Amy Hoy to start Stacking the Bricks, which is a company that helps freelancers bootstrap and build effective businesses.
Most recently, Alex published a book, The Tiny MBA. This book is not your typical business book. Each page has one thought that is a small prompt to make your think about something bigger in your life and business. There are 100 ideas that will help you evaluate and execute on your built-in advantages in your business.
