Ian Alexander

Alexander was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, to an American father and a Vietnamese mother. Due to his father's work with the Department of Defense, his family often moved and has lived in places such as Hawaii, Japan and Washington, D.C. During elementary school, he participated in community theater and chorus. Though he was raised in a Mormon family, he is not a participating member, and considers himself to be agnostic. He came out as transgender in 2014 and through the course of his gender transition identified as trans masculine while using he/him pronouns exclusively.
