Receive Text UpdatesHe loves exploring for the potential of seeing wild animals and learning about what makes them unique to their environment. Living in Alaska the animals aren’t often abundant which makes it that much more special when we find them. One of his favorite summer time activities is finding wood frogs around our property and in the woods. Seeing moose whenever and wherever can is a love of his as well.
His favorite animal is the caimen due to its unique colors that crocodiles and alligators don’t exhibit. Surprisingly enough he’s shown extreme interest in reptiles despite living in a state that has no terrestrial ones.
Fishing for arctic grayling and northern pike rank top tier for his passions. He also loves looking for wild Alaska blueberries when they’re present as well as snowmobiling and snow shoeing in the winter months.
