Alex Errington was born in Sacramento California, and raised in Wright, Wyoming and Buena Vista (pronounced Byoo-nah Vhis-tah), Virginia. He is the middle child of 5 children. His mother was a homemaker and held many different jobs during Alex’s late teens and on. His father was a dragline operator for a surface coal mine in WY and maintenance worker at Southern Virginia University in Virginia. As a child and youth Alex enjoyed baseball, camping trips, scouting, Civil Air Patrol, Civil War Reenactment Group, and attending early morning seminary. After high school he spent a year in California earning money to serve a mission. He served in the Poland Warsaw Mission.

He was shy and didn’t like talking to people but he learned to rely on the Lord and love the Polish people he served. He had many times when he felt the hand of the Lord guiding him in his service. He learned that if he wanted to be a lifelong disciple of Jesus Christ he would need to be willing to serve wherever the Lord needed him.

Following his mission, he was prompted to come directly to Kansas, where his oldest brother was living. Alex lived with him and his family while he got a job and began attending college. He received his Associates degree from Butler Community College in pre-engineering, and was working toward his bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering, when he decided to change his career path and get his airframe and power plant mechanics licenses and become an aircraft mechanic. He currently works for Ballard Aviation in Newton Kansas. One of the exciting things he gets to do there is travel the world, inspecting or working on potential aircraft that his company purchases. He has traveled all over the US, also Canada, Portugal, Malta, Ivory Coast, and the Philippines.

While serving on the institute council, soon after his mission, he met his wife Michelle. They were sealed in the Oklahoma City Temple in 2009. They have 4 loving children, 1 daughter and 3 boys. They enjoy going camping together and going for walks together.

His hobbies include camping, shooting, reading war history books, and family vacations to visit family.

In his church service, Alex currently serves as the stake executive secretary. His past callings include ward young men’s president and scout master, elders quorum president, counselor in the bishopric, assistant ward mission leader, counselor in young men’s presidency, counselor in elders quorum presidency, and institute council member.
