The Road To Dutch Harbor

About the Book

I am used to moving to where an opportunity exists. And, I enjoy a change. Every few years I found myself in a new situation.

In 2006 I left a company in which I had 15 years of experience. I was at the top of my game, making good money in a steady job. But I hated my boss. I took another position which was a gamble.

After one year I realized I made a mistake. So I quit my job and put my house up for sale, just as the housing market was imploding in Phoenix. Where would I move? No idea.

I started a job search in the northwest US, including Alaska. If I sold my house before I got a job, I would move to Reno. I liked the area.

At the last second I got an offer in Anaktuvuk Pass, Alaska. Never had been to Alaska.

Next thing I knew, I was driving from Phoenix to Fairbanks.

Even though I knew this position was truly unique and would take patience on my part, I had had enough after a few months and quit.

But once again, another offer presented itself. This time I would move halfway to Russia on The Aleutian Island chain. To Dutch Harbor on Unalaska Island.

Certainly THIS was going to work out!

About the Author

I am happily single. Able, and willing, to move quickly to unusual places.

My pleasures are travel and golf. Especially ROAD TRAVEL in the USA. So I made it a career. I had driven through all 50 states except Hawaii, Alaska, and Vermont as of 2007.

Forced into a situation of having to move from Arizona, I took a position 150 miles north of The Arctic Circle. Right now I am in Dutch Harbor, home base for DEADLIEST CATCH on Discovery Channel.

Born in Ohio, I consider myself a Kentucky Boy. But I get nervous staying too long in any location. I love Alaska, but it is probably not the final chapter.
