     Six Alaskans, all aid workers in the Balkans, met in front of Sitka's Old Harbor Books a few years ago.  Each of us had fielded the question "Why have so many Alaskans ended up as aid workers in troubled areas?"  Perhaps its the same sense of adventure that brought us all to Alaska.  But it's also something else.  Alaskans need a challenge.  We're improvisers, working at the end of supply lines.  We can't always get what we want so we've become masters of the "jury rig."  For the past two years years I‘ve managed KUDO 1080 in Anchorage, a "progressive talk" radio station.  For a decade before that I  worked with my wife, Suzi, developing independent media throughout Eastern Europe.  Before that I worked for thirteen years as Manager of Raven Radio KCAW in Sitka, Alaska.  Originally I'm a Jersey City boy.  Explore our website, check out the links and see if our experience can help you.  If nothing else we've lived in "interesting times." and you should find something, a photo or article, that interests you.
