Alex Layng grew up in Riverside and fondly remembers his participation in the Riverside Rec Department sports teams and the Village’s annual Fourth of July festivities. He moved back to the area in 2018 and he and his wife purchased a home here in 2021. Alex is the Manager of Strategic Projects for a privacy and security incident-management company serving the healthcare, insurance, finance and government sectors. He offers not only strategic business experience, but also project management and business process improvement skills, and an understanding of the importance of consensus decision-making. As a graduate of the University of Iowa (MS in Earth & Environmental Science) and Northwestern University (BA in Earth & Planetary Science, BA in Classics), he brings experience as a researcher and scientist as well. Alex believes Riverside’s greatest asset is its residents.
