Our Team

  • Hi! My name is Alex, the Director of Finance at the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Coastal Bend. I joined the Club just a few months ago, and I already feel right at home!

    When not crunching numbers at my desk, I love to go to the movies, hang out with friends, and cook/bake. My love for film goes way back, and it has not changed one bit. If there is a new movie in the theaters, you can bet that I have seen it, and I need you to see it so we can talk about it!

    While only being at the Club for a little while, I am already making a difference! As the Director of Finance, I spend a lot of my time in paperwork and on my computer, but I know that it is all for the better. I love being able to work for a mission first organization!
