AT A G L ANC E What book is currently on your nightstand? The one that I'm most engrossed in right now is a book by Frank Soos, who taught creative writing at the University of Alaska Fairbanks for many years, called Unpleasantries: Considerations of Difficult Questions. What’s a charity or cause that you’re passionate about? The one that I've probably been most passionate about, going back many years, is supporting our local public radio and television station, KUAC. What’s the first thing you do when you get home after a long day at work? Hockey season's underway—my twelve year old plays hockey, so a lot of my evenings after work are going to be spent at the local hockey rink. What vacation spot is on your bucket list? Costa Rica is up there—it's a place that I've always wanted to visit—as well as the Mediterranean islands. If you could domesticate a wild animal, what animal would it be?

A giraffe: it’s my wife's favorite animal and I think it'd just be cool to have a giraffe. We'd probably have to buy a new house with cathedral ceilings, but just having a giraffe in your yard, that stands out. It'd be cool to be known as the giraffe house: people are given directions somewhere, “Well, you just take a left turn down by the giraffe house.” “Oh, yeah, I know where that is.” [he laughs] Alaska Business
