John Ordell, a young scientist, moves to Washington, DC with the goal of working in biotechnology using the cutting-edge gene editing innovation called CRISPR. He is transformed from a humble PhD student to a trail-blazing entrepreneur, drawn into a scheme driven by greed, corporate espionage, high finance, and international intrigue.

Using artificial intelligence and CRISPR, John, his enabling cohorts, and a computer programming prodigy, set out on a path to change humanity. But will money and power corrupt to unleash the incredible power of CRISPR?

Alex was always fascinated by science and biology. So much so that he majored in chemistry in college at SUNY Binghamton. The idea for this book started in the early 2000s, but seemed far-fetched and was shelved until the science became real and caught up with the incredible and disturbing possibilities of DNA manipulation and its possible impact on people's lives, both good and bad.

Alex grew up in Long Island, New York and now lives with his wife Kimberly in Kensington, Maryland. He enjoys running, swimming, reading, golf and also practices law in Maryland and the District of Columbia. ReEvolution, a crispr novel is his debut work.
