Alex Fieldcamp was born and raised in New York City, where he still resides. He went to St. Bernard's School, Loyola, and Groton for his early education. Fieldcamp's passion for finance and markets led him to Cornell University's undergraduate business school, where he majored in Applied Economics with a Finance concentration. He has spent the most of his career in finance, working for both huge investment management organizations and boutique investment banks. Alexander Fieldcamp is proud of his Cuban mother, who came to the United States when she was a child to start a new life. Fieldcamp has visited his relatives in Cuba several times, where he has learnt more about his origins. On one of his travels, he drove the length of the island of Cuba, from Havana to Santiago, a journey he clearly recalls to this day.
