Personal Biography

Born and raised in Orange County, California, Alexander Cherry now makes his home in Phoenix, Arizona, coming there through a circuitous trip through Texas and Iowa, along with other, smaller, stops along the way.

Alexander was first introduced to roleplaying games at the tender age of eight by a man who later became his brother-in-law; the hobby immediately engrossed him, and he has been entranced by it ever since. A natural tinkerer, he has always looked for ways to improve existing games, tinkering with them and twisting in ways that weren't always natural. In his youth, he tried several times to design games from scratch, but those projects were quickly abandoned. Now he's finally starting to write his own.

After taking a year off of high school (Eldorado Emerson), Alexander reluctantly enrolled in Southern Methodist University in the fall of 1995, after (through parental pressure), attaining a high school diploma from another school that was not his choice. At the university, he studied Mathematics, Philosophy, Computer Science and Creative Writing. He was also a proud member of Alpha Phi Omega, a national co-ed service fraternity. During his last full semester, he racked up more than 200 community service hours, earning him a commendation. Unfortunate circumstances forced him onto the streets during his fourth semester, at the age of 18 - his mother, wiring him $400 a few weeks before his 18th birthday, gave him the message "go, be independent."

Finding himself close to broke and without a home (or any way to legally obtain one before his 18th birthday), Alexander decided to set himself on an odyssey. For the next three months, he traveled around the country by ValueOptions within walking distance of his apartment, where he worked for four years. During that time he bought a house even closer to his school, and wrote Fastlane. After four years with no chance of advancement, he moved to GoDaddy, an ill-advised employment move in the long run, as the following April he quit and applied to Arizona State University as a full-time student, where he is majoring in Mathematics and Economics.

In June of 2007, Alexander was studying abroad in Spain when he was afflicted with seizures, and had to be sent home. It was discovered he had an oligodendroglioma, a brain tumor. On June 18th, he had surgery at the University of California, Irvine, where he was sent for emergency treatment. 2007 was quite the banner year for Alexander's medical treatment, as in December he discovered a tumor in his right testicle, which was subsequently removed. The brain tumor also required additional treatment, and on December 20th, Alexander had the entire tumorous region of his brain removed.

As of this file's "last modified" date, Alexander Cherry is 28 years old. In addition to enjoying roleplaying games, he is an avid motorcyclist (it being his only choice for personal transportation) and a certified hypnotherapist (see the Hypnosis page for more on that).
