Alan is a native of Buffalo, New York, and after graduating from high school in 1990, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. His primary job role in the corps was that of Aviation Electrician; working on aircraft electrical and flight control systems of the F/A-18 Hornet. At the end of his five-year tour with the Marines, he was honorably discharged, and decided to remain in San Diego, CA. His first civilian position outside the Corps was as an aircraft technician with McDonnell Douglas Aerospace, at TOPGUN, in Miramar, CA.  

As job opportunities presented themselves, Alan decided to enter the semi-conductor industry, and moved to Orange County, CA. It was here, while working full time and attending school at night, that he was able to utilize his G.I. bill and be the first person in his family to receive a college degree. Through his efforts, he obtained a degree in electronic engineering technology.

In 2002, Alan decided to enter Law Enforcement, and joined the California Department of Corrections. He served with the CDC at Soledad State Prison, in Soledad, CA, until he made the decision to re-enter the semi-conductor industry, and relocated to Boise, Idaho.

Alan moved to Maricopa in 2006, after he accepted a position with the Intel Corporation, where he is today. Alan believes that "no American is entitled to an American dream, but every American is entitled to the opportunity to pursue one", and that "Public service is about putting your community before yourself. It should never be about obtaining a title, or recognition. It's about being the steward of the public trust; it's about doing the right thing when no one is looking; it's about being a part of something that is bigger than yourself."

Alan also believes that government should be fiscally responsible, as "we must always remember that it's on the backs, sweat, and hard work of citizens that government draws its purse. Government doesn't have, and has never had any of its own money; it only has our money."

Alan was elected to the Maricopa City Council in May 2010, but prior to his service he was a member of Maricopa's Public Safety Advisory Committee. It was here he played a key role in helping to draft the City's graffiti ordnance.
