        "Alex Marston, born in Royal Oak, Michigan, was introduced at a young age to computers and software through his father, a software engineer.

Also, he is skilled in utilizing certain front-end libraries like Bootstrap, Jquery, and React, and application data-flow architectures such as Redux.\n“Programming is what I am meant to do; Teaching others to see the same thing is my purpose.”, Alex says as a smile comes across his face. Because of his justice involvement, Alex has discovered a hidden drive and passion to help others succeed. He has found a love to teach, and as an assistant instructor, he has pushed others to see their capabilities.",
