I’m originally from Kalamazoo, Michigan and moved to Alaska to 2010 after completing a 22-year career in the Army. I currently live in Delta Junction, Alaska, and have been on the Alaska Outdoor Council (AOC) board for 9 years. I have been very active in junior shooting programs for both NRA and USA Shooting, along with formally assisting with the Delta High School Rifle Team. Even though I retired from the Army, I found myself not running very far, as I still work for the Army at Fort Greely. I grew up in Michigan both hunting and fishing and still look forward to and enjoy catching that first fish every year. I’m truly blessed and still in a little bit of awe that the AOC board has the confidence to appoint me as the new president. Bill Iverson will be truly missed!! I find myself asking how do I fill his shoes and replace 14 years of knowledge that Bill has. (Thank God for speed dial) I would also like to thank and welcome back to the AOC Board Jennifer Yuhas. Jennifer, I look forward to working with you and the whole board to move Alaska’s hunting, fishing and access rights forward. Caleb, Rod, Kendra please keep me straight as we move this organization forward and fight for User and State Rights!!!
