Alexi was born in the Detroit suburb of Birmingham,
Michigan. As a youngster, he was not only completely
taken by sports, but also by music. At the same time that
he was running on the soccer field and skating on the
hockey rink, Alexi was sitting at the piano and strumming
the guitar. He and his brother, Greg, would play sports
and play music together … something that is unchanged
to this day.
At Cranbrook High School, Alexi was twice named
All-State and in 1987 was named Michigan State Player
of the Year. That same year, Alexi captained both the
soccer team and hockey team to state championships.
