1992 was what Alexander called "the most painful, hurtful year I've had in my whole life." Alexander lost the roof of his house in Hurricane Iniki. His mother was injured in the floods, and she died from her injuries. In addition, his half brother's father's four-year-old girl was raped and murdered. Alexander was arrested and sentenced to five years in prison for assault after beating up a man who ran over his pit bull and killed him. He was released after nine months for good behavior, but was readmitted for 16 months after violating the conditions of his parole.
Alexander starred in a special for Discovery Channel's Shark Week in 2014. Called "Sharkageddeon," it attempts to explain why shark attacks are increasing in Hawaii. Alexander also appeared in an episode of "Shark After Dark," where he discussed his experience filming that episode.
Alexander is the Vice President of the Mauli Ola Foundation, an organization for people with cystic fibrosis. Alexander visits with children in hospitals in Hawaii and gives them surfing lessons.
