Alexander A. Morgan was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico with his parents Margaret and Roy, his older sister, Maria, and younger brother, Thomas.  Alexander has had the privilege of growing up with an immigrant mother and a father who was a classic cowboy that instilled the ideas of hard work and the American dream. With a family of engineers, chemists, project managers for government programs, and teachers, Alexander was surrounded by a family willing to answer any question imaginable.  This diverse upbringing taught Alexander the value of critical thinking, hard work, and education.  He always enjoyed school through the public education system Albuquerque had to offer, but sought to provide the next generations with an education better than his own.  

     

Alexander studied at the University of New Mexico.  Alexander’s life goal was to make an impact on education in New Mexico.  He thought education would be the key to shaping society to be a better place for everyone in the future. Alexander wanted to be a teacher ever since he started considering career options in high school and started lesson planning in high school. 

     

Having taught 10 years in APS, Alexander has gained recognition from Governor Susana Martinez for exemplary standardized test improvements within his students.  Creating a sense of self-worth, positive classroom environment, and lifelong learners are Alexander’s missions.  Alexander is happy to share his skillset with Piñon Tutoring. 

     

In his spare time, Alexander likes to read, do yard work, landscape, cook, study cryptocurrency, and be with his supporting wife.
