Alex Huls is a freelance writer and social media strategist (not to mention sharp-shooter business card flicker), who has written for an impressive roster of publications including The New York Times, The Atlantic, and Esquire among others. And if you're a film buff, you're going to want to connect with him on Facebook and Twitter for tips, insights and general amusement.

Now based in Toronto, it turns out we have a lot in common having both lived in Germany for starters. It turns out he also likes to have fun and get ridiculous almost as much as I do!

"I am of German heritage, so I’m fluent in Deutsch. But I’m also Canadian, so I’m fluent in saying 'sorry.' I have worn both lederhosen and a Mountie outfit. Not at the same time."

...challenge for 2014 Alex!
