[edit] Early life
Alexander was born in Oaxaca, Mexico and raised in Vancouver by his Canadian parents, British Columbia, where he attended UBC, and became an electrical engineer. He went on to become a stockbroker with Canaccord Adams but was later suspended by the Investment Dealer's Association and required to leave the industry[1].
[edit] Development career
Following his stockbroker career, he later began a controversial development in Chilliwack, British Columbia in an area where it was claimed by local homeowners that the entire hillside was moving causing home foundations to sink and deform[2]. The homeowners later sued the City of Chilliwack. The City, with no other alternative other than to support an issued Thurber Geotehnical Report[3], placed a building ban and moratorium on the entire eastern hillsides, including as much land as to the endge of Promintory to as far east as the Falls Golf Course [4]. This was the first time in the history of British Columbia that such a large area of land (well over 100,000 acres) was frozen from building construction and put many developments such as the Falls Golf Course and Alexander into possible receivership [5]. After many geotechnical tests, the threats of legal actions by developers and local media attention, the City had no choice but to lift the moratorium, and on July 15th 2004, Alexander was the first developer to receive a development permit on the Eastern Hillside since the ban was lifted[6]. The subdivision was created and two new roads were named Mount Thurston Drive and Mount Archibald Place on the 32 half acre lot subdivision[7]. The controversy is no longer and development continues there today on Marble Hill Road.
He then moved on to create a hotel in Tulum, Mexico called parayso hotel [8][9]. He is President of a US Land Development Company, Rancho Santa Monica Developments, Inc [10].
