Born in Boston, MA and raised in the greater-Boston area, Alex Whitmore was always captivated by food, travel, and culture. After earning a bachelor's degree in anthropology at Vassar College, Alex spent several peripatetic years working many odd jobs in many odd places: captain of a private yacht, restaurant server and cook, parachute packer for skydivers, boat builder for America's Cup boats, bike courier, and fleet manager for the fledgling car-sharing service Zipcar.
In 2006, Alex teamed up with his friend and Zipcar colleague Larry Slotnick to found Taza Chocolate. Alex and his wife Kathleen live in Union Square in Somerville, just minutes from the Taza Chocolate factory.
