Alex is a Big Brother (adult mentor) at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Connecticut, where he’s also a member of the youth mentoring organization’s Board of Directors. Mekhi from New Haven, the 17-year-old Alex mentors with Big Brothers Big Sisters, was recently named the non-profit’s 2023 Youth of the Year. Alex was interviewed by reporter/anchor/station personality Alyssa Taglia about his 10-year-old match relationship with Mekhi, about why he decided to become a Big Brother and his thoughts on his Little Brother (mentee) receiving the prestigious honor. When he’s not being interviewed on TV and not volunteering as a Big Brother, Alex is the Assistant State’s Attorney for the Milford-Ansonia Judicial District.
