:
Linn and I have lived in Big Lake for four years. We are blessed with adult children as well as many grandchildren. I'm retired from the USCG and I've lived in Alaska for almost 40 years. I have a BS Degree, an MBA, and currently a captain on Boeing 747s for a major international air cargo airline. From the US Coast Guard or volunteering as a local firefighter, to serving my fellow pilots as a negotiator and lead steward, my callings are all centered on serving my community and co-workers. I am honored to be able to further serve as a Representative for District 8. I am proud to be an American and an Alaskan.
