»Alex Eaton directs GCI's door-to-door operation in Washington, DC.

Alex grew up outside Chicago in Schaumburg, Illinois, but was adopted from South Korea at a very early age. Alex says, "I don't know what my life would have been in Korea, but I doubt it would have been like it has been here. I love the flag and what it stands for."

As a kid, Alex developed a healthy interest in sports. He played baseball, football, basketball, and any other game possible with his classmates and neighbors. Alex went to the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, and was able to combine his passions of patriotism and sports. He served as the Vice President of the Young Democrats and professes the greatest thing about his school was the football team.

After the 2000 election of George W. Bush, Alex felt disheartened, especially after his successful efforts on the Gore Campaign in Iowa. He completed his Bachelor's degree in Journalism in December 2001 and landed the job with ESPN. In less than two years, Alex worked on Baseball Tonight, College Game Day, and Sports Center. Alex won an Emmy for Best Studio Show for his work on Sports Center.

Even with all of this excitement, Alex's patriotic feelings were re-energized by the 2004 Democratic campaign. He left ESPN to join the GCI team in late March. The Iraq war was one of the major factors in his decision to dedicate himself to help change the direction of the country.

When Alex started as the Director of the Washington, DC, door-to-door operation, there were 7 canvassers. At its peak this summer, the DC office had 70 core door-to-door canvassers. Alex says, "being in charge of a GCI office is helping to influence the selection of the next president, and that's the best feeling in the world."
