Alex Kaufman

Alex has been with Assured since 2012. He holds a Masters degree in Old Testament, and at one point he thought his career path would take him into academics and biblical higher education. While he was still working on his undergrad studies he met and married his now wife of 12 years, Amber. They have 10 adopted children, and Amber has founded and runs a non-profit arts organization which teaches free ballet lessons, among other endeavors.

Outside of Assured, Alex is always learning in his various other areas of interest, including fishing, bushcraft, permaculture, and the outdoors. He is passionate about foster care and adoption, and they continue to pursue their passion through advocacy and educating other prospective adoptive parents. Don’t let the long hair fool you; Alex is a pretty straight laced guy who prides himself on professionalism and is always looking to help others along the way.
