About

My name is Alexander, but I prefer AP. I've been in sales for 4 years now, and I come from an interesting background. I earned my degree in Criminal Justice and became a marketing and communications specialist for a large hospital on the western slope upon graduation. After that, I became an Admissions Counselor for my alma mater, Colorado Mesa University. Finally, I moved to Dallas in 2021, and have been in IT sales since then. With my passion for helping others and the inevitable chaos that technology brings, I enjoy using my restorative strength to ensure my clients are successful. My ability to learn quickly, think on my feet, pay attention to detail, and adapt easily, brings a focused yet tenacious approach to my work. Restorative, Competition, Relator, Developer, Learner are my Clifton Strengths.
