Personal Bio:

I was raised in Barrow, Alaska. My parents moved there with the BIA in 1970,

when I was a year old, and retired from the North Slope Borough in 1988.

In high school, I played all the sports and excelled in wrestling where I was

often the number one seed in tournaments and finished 4th at state as

senior at 130 lbs. My parents had a love for singing and we sang together

as a family in three-part harmony (we did not have an alto) we started

out singing the melody with mom then learned to sing bass and tenor

from dad. Barrow had a wonderful band program where I played

trombone and was first chair in the all-state orchestra as a junior and

played the first part in the all-state band as a senior.

Since moving to Haines, I have found and married the love of my life,

Holly. We have four kids and have been active in the community with

the Haines Volunteer Fire Department and for 20 years and am an active

member of the Haines Presbyterian Church. For the last three years,

I've had a fun time helping coach the boy's middle school basketball

team.

Hobbies:

Music: I am on the Praise Team at Church, enjoy working with Kids:

Holly Davis and I have three boys, ages 17, 15, 12, and one girl, age 8.

Fishing: I commercial gillnet in the summers

Photography: I have taught photography a number of years. We have a wide

range of Canon DSLR cameras, lenses, and accessories available for classroom use..

Fund Raiser: Passport Photos--as a fundraiser for the photography class, I take

passport photos for $20 (or donation) after school from 3:30-4:30 pm on school

days. This usually takes about 5-10 minutes. Our class also does the school

picture-day photos for HBSD.
