Subscriber Spotlight: Alex from Los Angeles

Alex will never forget the day he joined Starry. He was fed up with his old provider constantly increasing the price of his internet service year over year, so he was relieved to have a new option. After signing up for Starry, he enjoyed pizza and beer with his neighbors at a party celebrating the launch of Starry’s service in his building. And then at 2:30 AM, Alex rushed to the hospital, as his pregnant wife went into labor. The party was fun and Alex loves his Starry internet service, but that day is one of the greatest moments of his life because it was when he welcomed his new son Hunter into the world.

Born and raised in SoCal, but also enjoying temporary stints in Chicago, Arizona, Virgina, Spain and Germany, Alex now resides in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles where he enjoys a balanced lifestyle. By day, he showcases his creative eye as a video editor who’s worked on an impressive portfolio of TV shows, commercials, films and digital content. In a profession that requires sharing and transferring large video files, Alex understands the importance of a reliable and fast internet connection.

In his off time, he likes to enjoy his biggest passion, surfing. As an avid surfer, Alex is always ready to grab his board, keeping an eye on local surf conditions and streaming the newest surf videos online. His favorite spot to surf in the world is Tahiti, but there’s a lot of good local places to catch a wave (he wanted to keep his favorite spots a secret). It might be a little trickier now with a newborn at home, but he loves his family time. Alex, his wife, and two young children. They all love visiting The Getty, hiking in Temescal Canyon, and feasting at the Boiling Crab.
