Alex Larson

Alex Larson grew up on the beaches of the East Coast where he loved trying new ideas and activities. Hence, choosing one pursuit has often been challenging, but when his highschool mentor inspired him to become a pilot, he chose to settle on aerospace engineering. 

In the beginning, Alex thought knowing how planes operate would simply give him a leg up in becoming a pilot. However, five years later with completed coursework, the likes of which he  never thought he could do, he is proud to call himself an aerospace engineer. 

Throughout his time in Colorado, Alex has seen his career goals transform once again into aspirations of space exploration and all activities that achieve that end. In particular, he is   interested in leadership and management in the field. 

Beyond his professional life, Alex loves to take breaks by skiing Colorado’s many mountains, and with the pandemic raging, he enjoys playing video games online in order to interact with friends virtually. He also has a weakness for Colorado craft beer and loves to receive recommendations for ones that he hasn’t tried before!
