Guide Post

I am a lifelong hunter, trapper, and outdoorsman. I have visited Alaska multiple times, starting with a year enrolled at University of Alaska Fairbanks, in 2006. While attending college at UAF, I ran a walking trap line in the Chena Hot Springs area. Since then, my trips have consisted of unguided hunting trips for caribou (rifle and bow hunting), black bear, moose, and fishing.

I hope some of the following skill sets and experiences will be useful to an outfit.

– I am familiar with the physical demands of the mountains, and tundra of Alaska. I have hiked miles of tundra north of the Brooks Range. Chased bears in the mountains of the Chugach. Hunted moose in the forest around Fairbanks.

– I keep myself in excellent physical condition. I work out daily. I still work on my family’s small farm. I still cut, split and stack approximately 8 cords of wood each year.

– I have experienced the extremes in weather that Alaska likes to throw at you.

– I was enlisted in the US Army Reserve and National Guard where I was trained as a Combat Medic. I also held certification as an EMT. I held certification and was an instructor for Basic Life Support and Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation for my employment with the New York State Police.

– I have owned and have experience with ATV’s and Snowmobiles.

Please contact me if you think I can be of assistance to your operation.
