Alex Collier: the person

I've been watching his talks on the internet, listening to his stories. Something struck me. What is this man like in person, what are his opinions, who is this man? I don't want to discuss his sotry, or anything like that. I want people that are like me (with a little more know of him) to discuss him as a person. So, I would really like to hear the general population discuss the man behind such a mind blowing story. What is your opinion about this man? How does he come across to you?

(edit: I put 'Alexander' out of habit as his name. It's my brothers name. I see 'Alex' my mind automatically says Alexander)
