Alex’s stepsister since childhood. Hours spent playing video games turned into hours spent at Disney parks with the family over the years.

Alex’s stepbrother since childhood. As kids, it was a common weekend day when Trevor, Jonah, Ethan and Alex would hop online together and play hours upon hours of Halo 3 multiplayer.
