Alex Priest is the DC Community Manager for Uber. Alex graduated from American University in Washington, DC, in May 2011 with a B.A. in Public Communication and a B.S.B.A. in Marketing. He's originally from a small town in Kentucky where--much to the amazement of his east-coast friends--he actually had to cross a time-zone to get to the closest movie theater. He has wide ranging interests, including media and social media, marketing and advertising, politics, technology, music (playing and listening), movies, fitness, nutrition and food, and graphic design (although he's still not very good at it).
