Alaska has always been at the center of my story

I was born in Fairbanks, and although I spent part of my youth traveling throughout the Lower 48, Alaska is the place that truly shaped who I am. Hard work, integrity, and the importance of community have guided my personal life and professional career.

I’ve had the privilege of working with businesses across the state for more than twenty years, and I’ve built relationships with professionals in construction, transportation, oil and gas, mining—the industries that drive Alaska’s economy.

I’ve learned that Alaska is built on relationships. In a state separated by vast distances but united by strong communities, trust matters. Business is built through reputation, consistency, and a commitment to serving others. Those principles have served me throughout my career and guided me to join Alaska Business.

For more than four decades, Alaska Business has connected leaders, entrepreneurs, and decision-makers by sharing the stories that shape our economy. The publication brings together people from every corner of the state and highlights Alaskans’ innovation, resilience, and determination.

What excites me most about joining the Alaska Business team is the opportunity for new, productive, and meaningful relationships as I help local organizations share their stories. I look forward to helping Alaska businesses showcase their expertise and what makes them unique, and to connecting them with the leaders, decision-makers, and customers who can help them grow.
