Only 19 years old, he has already founded and established his firm and Media Company, Astra Holdings, valued at over a million dollars, has an over 500 million follower international Instagram network at his command, and can cite relationships with dozens of celebrity icons and VIP clients. In short, Alex has built a media empire. But for him, it isn't about fame or money. He's an entrepreneur, with a passion for creating services that people need and building authentic relationships. This was evident as he told us, " All of my businesses are very relationship oriented. The strategic partnerships we have formed have reaped long-term gains that go far beyond the traditional interpretation of ROI. The networking and relationships I build mean everything to me, they will always be a focal point of whatever I do."
And while this may come as unbelievable to many, Alex has a plethora of famous and credible sources to back him up. With media influencer clients such as @Jefo, Jake Paul, and YouTube star Adrian Gee, he knows how to handle stars, and get them exactly what they need. But on top of those in the entertainment business, Alex's business has made its way into the leaders of all industries. Take Stanley Litow, for example. A Vice President at IBM and an esteemed professor at Columbia and Duke University, Litow has trusted Alex and his services to help further his digital brand. And he is always up to the task. His clients consistently report success stories - though for confidentiality purposes we can't mention them all here.

Additionally we've been eyeing some opportunities to make some strategic acquisitions to help further our prospects for growth and capabilities for serving our clients. On a personal level I have been getting involved with several philanthropic efforts amidst the Covid-19 epidemic. "
