Alexander Ries
Alexander has explored a multitude of mediums throughout his 29 years of life, starting with his attendance of Buckman, an arts magnet elementary school in Portland, Oregon. Alex's creative background is rooted mostly in music performance, composition, and songwriting, which he draws upon whenever he can to inspire his choice of words. The advent of writing in Alex's life was coaxed by the discovery of a sailing journal that his father wrote around the same age Alex was when he found it.
