Marvin L. Alexander, Jr joined the IUPAT in 1969 and worked his way up to be a general foreman. In 1980, he became a full-time instructor and remained dedicated to teaching apprentices for the next 26 years. One of his greatest achievements is his lasting impact on the lives of the apprentices he taught, mentored and successfully transformed into journey workers. He has said that some of his proudest moments are seeing apprentices successfully advancing in their painting careers. After retiring in 2014, Brother Alexander decided to return as a part-time Instructor for the District Council 15 JATC, as he still enjoys sharing his experience and knowledge of the painting trade.
