As a kid growing up in Northeast, Ohio just outside of Cleveland, I loved reading and watching TV shows about nature, animals, and wild, far away places. Impressively filmed landscapes in the middle of nowhere called out to me. I studied history and anthropology and the Indigenous Peoples of the world, and their connection to the very land beneath my feet. The magnificent, wild beauty of Alaska called out to me. I wanted to see mountains and experience unspoiled wilderness, and see Orcas swimming free in Prince William Sound.
For decades I would proclaim, “I’m moving to Alaska someday.”
