Alexander Holmgren was born in Greenwich, Connecticut. He is a senior at Greenwich High School, and has two brothers: Nicholas and Marcus, along with mother Karen and father David. From childhood Alex has had an active fascination and love for both the environment and animals that has lasted throughout his life. His all time favorite show as a child was Zooboomafoo which then led to the Crocodile Hunter and so on. One of Alex's lifelong goals has been to see a rainforest in person, which he reached in the summer of 2012, spending nearly a month in Costa Rica and Panama studying primates in the forest. During this time he also attended an environmental awareness course at Brown University. Alex spends his time working as a high school student with a weekly “Environmental Action Club” as the highlight of his week. He currently hopes to major in Biology and minor in Environmental Science in college.
