Joshua Wilks

Account Manager

Josh Wilks has been on the other side of an advertising transaction. His previous career was with NAPA Auto Parts, starting in his hometown of Fairbanks. By 2018, when he was promoted to statewide sales manager, Wilks moved to Anchorage. “Honesty is all we have,” says Wilks.

In his previous position, Wilks was responsible for maintaining good relationships between NAPA Auto Parts and repair shops statewide. The company awarded him Sales Manager of the Year for 2018. He was attracted to Alaska Business Publishing Company by the potential to form business relationships and help clients with their business.

Outside of work, Wilks enjoys riding his motorcycle, golfing, and working out at The Alaska Club with his son. He’s also an aspiring knifemaker.

New Oil on the North Slope
August 2026
In mid-May it was 19°F and windy at the Aurora Hotel in Deadhorse. As I stood in the parking lot surveying the surroundings, I chatted with a gentleman from Texas who works for Nabors Alaska Drilling and was in town as part of a crew tasked with getting a previously inactive drill rig up and running. He said that, according to his supervisor, spring is the windy season on the North Slope. The gusts were bracing, numbing the fingers holding my camera, but most of my attention was focused on what I could capture through the lens: work trucks, shipping containers, buildings obscured by snow whipped up by the wind.
