Our Tagline: Discover The Great Land

We decided on “Discover The Great Land” for several reasons. The Great Land is a relic phrase in some ways, but represents how the world once viewed Alaska. The word Alyeska (al-ee-ES-ka) which roughly translated means “The Great Land” is how some Alaska natives originally described their homeland. We feel that Alaska is more than just the Last Frontier, it is the greatest place on earth. Our tagline captures the action of coming to Alaska with the sentiment of how we feel about our homeland – all in one simple phrase.

Thanks to my wife, Mahala, son, Coleson, and daughter, Willow for their support and motivating me to help achieve my dreams.
