Alex was born on November 23, 1947, in Pittsburgh, PA, as youngest child to Lou and Lillie Abrams. He graduated from Shaler High school in 1966 and graduated from Robert Morris College in 1974 with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration. He married Jacqueline Abrams in Pittsburgh, PA, in 1970. After graduating from college he worked for Campbells Soup
Company as an Account Representative, and later worked for Brady Industrial Identification Products Company as Product Manager in the headquarters in Milwaukee, WI. They had two children in Pittsburgh, PA (1976 and 1978). In 1984 they moved with their children to Orlando,
Florida, and started a manufacturing and label company called Florida Marking Products (FMP). Over the years, both Liz and Katy (and many of their friends!) as well as many other family members worked at FMP, making it a true family business. He and Jackie divorced in 2002 but
remained business partners until he retired from FMP in 2013. He continued to work part time as a real estate agent since then, and never remarried.
