David Alexander has a degree in Accounting and Business/Management from Georgia State University. According to his LinkedIn profile, the Atlanta native has professional experience in the field of sales. His bio on the professional networking platform reads:

“I was the first person evicted from CBS Big Brother Season 21. Unfortunately, my sales background and charisma didn't get a full showcase to win the 500K prize.”

Starting off as a sales representative for specialty retailer HHGregg, David went on to become an account manager for Red Bull Distribution Company. Capitalizing on his experience in the energy drink space, David then became a brand ambassador for Atlanta-based Kill Cliff while working as their sales manager.

David is a fitness enthusiast, and he carried forward this interest into his career when he took up the role of a sales representative for wellness company Ascent Protein.

In his CBS profile for the show, the 32-year-old has mentioned that he is into “functional fitness, photography, hiking, and traveling."

David appeared in Big Brother Season 21 and Season 22. While Derek did not go far in the first season, he was appreciated for his observant gameplay skills. Big Brother 22 saw Derek as a jury member as he ranked eighth.

David will be seen participating in The Challenge USA alongside other Big Brother alums, including Enzo Palumbo. Revealing his personal mantra in a teaser video for the show, David said:

"Something I repeat daily is how bad do you want it? Ask yourself that question and answer it with your actions."
