Alexander is the son of NAACP chair Kelly Alexander Sr. and nephew of civil rights activist Frederick Alexander.[6]

He attended West Charlotte High School and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.[7] Alexander returned to Charlotte after college to manage the Alexander Funeral Home.[7] He has taught classes at Central Piedmont Community College, Johnson C.
