Alex is a larger-than–life character who has become a star of the series, Ice Road Truckers that airs on the History Channel. His full name is Alexander Marcel Debogorski.  Alex was born in Berwyn Alberta, Canada in 1953.  He grew up in the Peace River country of Alberta with three brothers and one sister.  His mother and father who were born in Poland, immigrated from Britain in 1953. Alex has been married to his wonderful wife Louise for 38 years and is the proud father

of 11 children, 9 grandchildren, and one more grandchild on the way.

Alex got into his first truck in 1972 when he started working at the Mckyntire Porcupine Mine in Grande Cache Alberta, Canada and has remained in one to this day.  He’s a natural shock jock who entertains his fellow drivers on the CB radio and is completely unpredictable—you never know what he’ll say next. A few seasons ago, Alex was forced to leave the Inuvik road early because of critical health problems (blood clots in his lungs and a heart arrhythmia). In season three, Alex took a job with Carlile Transportation in Alaska, where the oil business is booming and they were desperate for experienced drivers. However, Alex had to prove that he was healthy and truly up for the job. This road is no flat expanse; it’s icy and mountainous. Alex proved that he was trucker enough to pull off the season and can guarantee you will see a season four!
