Operator

Born and raised just outside of Athens, Alex began his journey with Chick-fil-A Atlanta Hwy when he worked as a team member in high school. In 2011, he started as an Interim Manager serving at company owned restaurants. He continued with his path when selected as an Owner/Operator at a store in Port Richey, Florida. In 2014, he returned home to become the Owner/Operator at the store now best known for its Christmas light display, Lights of Athens.

Alex created Lights of Athens to spread hope throughout the hectic holiday season and create family traditions to last a lifetime. The journey began with only 5,000 lights displayed and now displays nearly half a million every season.

His passion to serve his community doesn’t end at Chick-fil-A. Alex, and his wife Kami, mentor many members of their community and continuously seek opportunities to grow and influence others. By applying the principles of honor, dignity, and respect, Alex seeks to foster a work environment that is positive, where the quality of life is enhanced, and individual aspirations are invested in.
