North West Arctic Region of Alaska

Greetings from the NW Arctic region of Alaska. I have a home in a small village on the Kobuk River about 60 miles above the arctic circle. I have lived up here for over half my life now and enjoy the uncomplicated life in a remote village. I run a tribal vocational rehabilitation program for the Maniilaq Association and travel to the 12 villages in this region providing support to tribal members who live with disabilities that present barriers to employment or the subsistence lifestyle.

I have been married for 35 years and am the father of 6 children 3 boys and 3 girls. I enjoy playing the guitar and getting out in the country which is just outside my back door.
