Alex Bastani

I grew up in Northern Virginia, attending public schools from kindergarten all the way through T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria. That’s where I earned my letter playing football; a lesson in teamwork, discipline, and grit that’s stayed with me my whole life. From there, I went on to Boston University, where I double-majored in Economics and Political Science.

I worked as an Economist at the United States Department of Labor while going to law school at night at George Mason University. When I passed the Virginia State Bar on my first try in 1994, it wasn’t just a personal victory it was a testament to the value of hard work and perseverance.
