Alex is the former Chief Executive of British charity Families Need Fathers which supports tens of thousands of fathers, as well as mothers and grandparents, who have been prevented from seeing their children or grandchildren. As well as lobbying Government and the judiciary, the organisation runs support groups around the United Kingdom, and Alex currently serves as Chairman of the Plymouth branch.

Over the past 18 years, Alex has worked as an advocate in the UK, USA, Mexico, Canada, and Eastern Europe, assisting individuals in the family courts that either cannot afford an attorney or have realised that such practitioners often do more to harm their case than achieve a decent outcome. For this reason, he founded the company Family Law Alternatives, which is all about showing people that there are often different approaches worth considering, mediation for example, as opposed the traditional adversarial approach used all too often in the family courts.

I have been in QA for 14 years and have done everything from manual testing to automation testing to test data generation to leading testing teams, and DevOps. Worked on small start up projects, massive projects for oil and gas companies and some wild adventure projects at non profit organizations. And if you managed to make it that far without falling asleep, I am a strange individual in the world of QA. How strange? I am an Introvert but will talk for hours about almost anything and everything (yes, even work related on occasion), but I will need a nap eventually. I am known for turning Test Summaries into monologues that prove to all that insanity is part of what makes a great QA. I believe in no dumb questions, if we are not all in here helping each other out, what are we even doing. I am also a big mental health advocate, supporting the people you work with are more important than any job.
