Alex Nunn
General Manager
Email: alex@portcitymakerspace.com
General Manager: 2014-Present
Alex is a lifelong learner and tinkerer. Growing up he helped his mom with her appliance repair shop out of the home, and grew to love working with all things electrical and mechanical. He first learned how to weld as a volunteer at the makerspace, and now he helps facilitate makers and artists learning all manner of new skills. When he’s not managing the makerspace, he’s tinkering on something or hanging out with his cat.
