“While we often take the heat, light, and water systems for granted, it’s actually a challenge to keep 1,800 facilities going in Alaska’s harsh environments. Our success is due to the hardworking team of professionals at DFS,” Gibson says. “I look forward to continue to work with the team to modernize our facilities, extend the life of our buildings and continue to serve Alaskans.”
Gibson attended UAF and lives in Fairbanks with his wife and three children.
