Alex was born on November 23, 1976 to Joe and Pam McKnight. During the 1980s and 90s, the McKnights were transferred many times to different air bases in support of US operations. Alex and his family, at one time, were stationed at: 48th Fighter Wing, RAF Lakenheath, United Kingdom; 366th Air Expeditionary Wing, Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho; 5th Bomb Wing at Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota; 51st Fighter Wing at Osan Air Base, Korea; 509th Bomb Wing, Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri; 52nd Fighter Wing, Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany; and 341st Space Wing, Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana.
He graduated top of his 1995 class from London Central High School, located at RAF Daws Hill, High Wycombe, United Kingdom. As a result, he got a appointment to the US Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado. His intention was to become a fighter pilot and maybe join NASA as a shuttle pilot.
In his third year at the USAF Academy, he was on home leave in 1998 Montana when Alex and his siblings (Michelle and Jason McKnight) ‘mysteriously disappeared’. Instead, an alien transporter, discovered by the USS Enterprise under Captain Robert April, had brought the three into 2250. When they found out that they could not get back to 1998, all three underwent re-orientation and education to adapt to life in the 23rd century.
Alex McKnight was accepted for Starfleet Academy in 2252. With his USAF training, he was able to bypass most of his basic physical training but had to study real hard to adapt to Starfleet life. He graduated at the top of his Academy class in 2256, earning him a posting on the USS Hood.
While at the Academy, he befriended William Gee, with whom he became best friends with and would serve alongside most of his career. He also became romantically involved with a fellow cadet, Jennifer Holmes. They married on their graduating day.
His father was a US Air Force ammunition inspector and his mother was a housewife. Both parents were killed during World War III with a nuclear strike on Malmstrom; a fact that still haunts Alex to this day. Alex was in several 80s rock bands while high school and was also active in sports, particularly basketball.
Alex is the first starship commander to be married; he's married to Angelica McKnight. He was previously married to Academy sweetheart Jennifer Holmes for two years after their graduation. They have one son, Montgomery McKnight, a lieutenant commander stationed on Starbase 23.
Alex's his best friend William "Bill" Gee is his Executive Officer and Chief Engineer.
Alex's brother, Captain Jason McKnight, is due to take command of the USS Intrepid and his sister, Michelle McKnight is a curator at Starfleet Museum.
