Alex Early and his wife, Jana, are happy parents to Tovah (“Boo”) and Jude (“Moshi”). Alex is a pastor, author, and lecturer. He’s a trail-running, motorcycle-riding, cardigan-wearing, leadership-developing, tattoo-acquiring, atonement scholar who roots passionately for the Seattle Sounders, tacos, and backyard hangs. Beyond earning two master’s degrees and his doctorate, his greatest accomplishment is winning his elementary school talent show in the fifth grade by doing a stand-up comedy routine. The family dog is a bernedoodle named Dempsey (after the professional soccer
player). The Earlys live in Seattle.
