User:Acaste119's real name is Alex Castellanos. He is not the politician but rather a Layout Technician who is currently looking for employment.

History
Alex was born and raised for most of his upbringing in Paterson, New Jersey. He attended the Christian Schools: Nutley Christian School, Brookdale Christian School, then Hawthorne Christian Academy before moving to Wayne, NJ with his family and attending Wayne Hills High School. In high school Alex was known for his drumming talents. Other than being a whiz with Math and Science, Alex was regarded as a gifted player of the drums. Alex was a core member of the W.H.H.S. Marching Band, Concert Band, and Percussion Ensemble. Upon graduation in 2002, Alex took his first semester off then began his Engineering training at County College of Morris. C.C.M. gave Alex many valuable tools of the trade that he uses everyday. He graduated in 2006 with an Associates of Applied Science degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology. However in 2004 he took a job as an intern at Suburban Consulting Engineers, Inc. in Dover, NJ. He honed his skills in AutoCAD (CAD standing for Computer-Aided Design) and engineering design until the summer of 2006 when Alex left that job in favor of a new and exciting career in the world of Fire Protection. He received a job as a designer at Fire Protection Industries in Landing, NJ. However the career opportunities that he was promised were never really offered to him, and as of March 2010, Alex is seeking employment in a new and exciting industry.

Church Life
Not only known for his Academic Achievements, Alex is also been involved in church ministry for a long time. Growing up in a non-denominational church, Abundant Life Worship Center, was a fun and exciting life for he and his family. Having a deep and secure relationship with Jesus Christ is a very important aspect of the Castellanos lifestyle. It surrounds and involves itself in all parts of everyday life. Alex enjoyed being a member of A.L.W.C., (later renamed MetroChurch due to unforeseeable circumstances) the Sunday Morning Praise Band, and the Leader of the Youth Worship Team. Alex would play the piano/keyboards on a regular basis. In 2002, Alex's parents decided to make the move to Calvary Temple International. C.T.I. was a big stepping stone in Alex's life. He met his wife (Alina) and future in-laws there. Life Source Church, a new church plant born from C.T.I., was started in 2009 by Pastor Jonathan Papa and his wife Nivin. Alex felt the Lord calling him to help the Papas in any way possible. He was asked to lead worship at Life Source Church and is currently attending there with his wife. Alex serves as Worship/Music Director.
