An avid car enthusiast since his youth, Alex Jaeger attended The Center for Creative Studies College of Art & Design in Detroit for two years, focusing on transportation design.

Jaeger went on to design three Fry's Electronics stores for Christiansen Design in Sausalito, California, and worked for R. Talsorian Games, creating designs and illustrations for "Cyberpunk" role-playing books.
