Alex joined BMW in early January of 2016, but was a rare contributor and ever rarer participant in video games, by his recollection, never even playing Rust, despite joining during its heyday.

However, as [[Conan Exiles]] rolled around a year later, his activity within the group increased, as his former modship in [[SA Discord]] began to wane due to the servers tanking popularity. Conan would end miserably, but Alex would remain active in BMW. | Alex joined BMW in early January of 2016, but was a rare contributor and ever rarer participant in video games, by his recollection, never even playing Rust, despite joining during its heyday.

The duo was originally envisioned to be the perfect pairing of game leadership and social leadership, respectively. However, due to misunderstandings, infighting, and [[The Sauce Affair]], the vision didnt pan out, and Peaches would resign in early May of 2019, leaving Alex the sole leader. Regardless, Alex stepped up and brought about a new [[Golden Age]] to WTT. | When Taylor made the decision to abdicate as leader of WTT, Alex was his first pick to co-lead the group, along with Peaches.
