My goal is to stimulate entrepreneurship and innovation in Alaska by linking individuals with demonstrated skill sets to opportunities and capital.

The Alaska legislature recently passed 1202 Qualifying Small Business Corporation legislation eliminating Alaska corporate income tax on qualifying high technology and manufacturing companies. Alaska is now the most tax-friendly state for nationally and internationally oriented software companies and manufacturing companies. Connect to Alaska, the land of superlatives, opportunities, and outdoor splendor.

Specialties: I have been an active proponent of entrepreneurship in Alaska for over 30 years and I have developed a network of individuals and organizations with complementary skills and resources that can assist successful entrepreneurs in growing businesses. I have a predisposition to working with ’emitters vs. absorbers’.
