I was born in Thailand. My father is Laotian and my mother is Thai, and I often refer to myself jokingly as a Laosy-Thai. Most of my early childhood years were spent with my family living in Laos. My father was a military figure fighting against the communists and much of our early years found us moving from place to place and often hiding from the communists. At the conclusion of the Vietnam War, it was no longer safe to stay in Laos so my family was forced to move back to Thailand, and there lived in a refugee camp for 3 years before being sponsored by a church in Elgin Il, for immigration as political refugees. In 1978, at the age of 13, my family consisting of my mom and dad and 6 siblings, was fortunate enough to call Elgin Il home for 5 years. When my father heard from a Laotian friend living in Florida, my father traveled from Illinois for a visit to see his friend. He liked Florida so well that he never returned to Illinois. My father discovered that in Florida there would never be snow and the weather was a close approximation to our home country weather, and as so many people from the north decide to do, he quickly moved the family south to Florida.

The family settled in St. Petersburg. Where my mother and father quickly found work and many other displaced families living under similar circumstances to our own. The constant uncertainty of our early years in Asia somewhat wreaked havoc on my early education. Of course none of us spoke any English when we arrived from Thailand and my first official formal schooling was a 6th grade classroom in Elgin. I, am proud to say that I learned English and went on to graduate from Northeast High School in St. Petersburg in 1986. I worked at various jobs and continued to help my family raising my 5 younger brothers and sisters until moving to Vero Beach in 1990 to be closer to my fiancé. I enrolled at Indian River Community college and graduated with an associate of art degree in 1993. My now husband and I spent approximately the next 2 years saving and planning for a wedding.

Frank and I have been married since 1995 and now have 2 beautiful children. Lindsay is 8 years old and attends 3rd grade at Rosewood Magnet school near our home. She enjoys gymnastics and singing and dancing. Her brother Wesley is 7 years old and attends first grade at Rosewood magnet school. Wesley loves soccer and is a beginning karate student. We are a member of First United Methodist church where we were married.

My husband Frank E. Alexander Jr. owns and operates an Allstate Insurance agency here in Vero Beach in the Miracle Mile Plaza. My husband and I have worked side by side together for 15 years in the insurance business and I am also a licensed insurance agent. We have built the insurance agency largely through referrals and word of mouth. After 15 years of working together we have decided to diversify and I am now pursuing a new career as a realtor in Vero Beach Florida. It has been a life long dream of mind to become a realtor, however, Frank and I still consult often with each other about our various industries and gain valuable insight that we both find beneficial about the other’s industry.

My goal as a Vero Beach Realtor is to ensure that I help my clients gain the maximum advantage in their transaction, whether they are buying a house or selling a house. I want my clients' experience to be hassle free. I want to be their eyes and ears, and a person that they can lean on and trust. My goal is to exceed my client’s expectation of what a realtor can do for them.

Thank you for your time in getting to know me. If I can help you in anyway, or if you know of someone buying or selling a home or property that could use my help, please give them my name which is commonly misspelled as "Amy Alexander", but is actually "Amie Alexander". The best compliment I can get is you sending a referral.

God bless…..
