I haven't been frequenting the forums all too often lately so I don't really know what members are from AK... so I thought it would be neat if we could post up our first names at least, where we're from and a little bit about ourselves.

I'm Ray, from St. Paul Island (Pribliofs... west of Anchorage, north of Dutch Harbor) I commercial fish for halibut during the summers and I like playing basketball, working on trucks and installing stereo equipment.

 

Hi Ray, Mike from Valdez. FF/Medic with our city's FD. Try to spend what free time I have enjoying the outdoors and exploring some of the gold/ghost towns in my neck of the woods.

PS Have you received the chapter information, logo ect yet? If not let me know and I will point you in the right direction.

 

Hey Ray and Mike, Derek here, doc in Anchorage. Like to put stuff on my truck and pay others to fix the problems I cause doing so!

Happy truckin'

 

Well let me get in on this too!

I'm Wes from Fairbanks and I am a professional firefighter by trade. I too pay others to work on my truck (a man's gotta know his limitations - mine is mechanical!) but I do like to "dress up" my Excursion!

This was a good idea Ray, thanks for bringing this thread up!

Now let's hear from the rest of you!

Welcome all to the coolest chapter on FTE.

My Name is Tony and I am from Fairbanks. I work for a development company called Fountainhead Development. I am responsible for all of the telephone and computer systems in our many properties, including 4 hotels here in Fairbanks. So if anyone needs a place to stay let me know and I can hook you up with a good rate and a great place to stay.

I snowmachine in the winter and camp and fish in the summer. I currently own a 2003 F350 V10 Lariet cc to pull my 32' monster fifth wheel trailer. Pulls the snowmachine trailer very nicely also.

Glad to see a chapter for people in alaska that have so much in common.

Hi guys and gals. My name is Howard. Been living in Homer for about 15 years and don't plan to leave. I fly helicopters for a living and my wife owns an art gallery in town. I'm glad to see an Alaska chapter finally started. Was beginning to wonder if I was the only one! I found FTE when I was having problems with my Ranger, and was impressed with the answers and help.

Hey I'm Jason I live in Anchorage off of 84th and Lake Otis (not Far from Greythorn3) I have Oil in my blood (due to a early childhood mistake)
Drag racing is my life, my passon, and my calling. I'm in the process of rebuilding a 59 F100 Styleside Custom Cab with a 390 and a C6 as well as a 1976 Pinto Wagon Pro Mod (yes I said Pinto Wagon ) that, if I beat 6.47 seconds in the quarter mile, will be the fastest Pinto in history. when I'm not obcessing over that I am doting on my wife of six months and performing crew chief duties on my dads 71 Pinto coupe (yes another Pinto!). While working I am a personal care provider for an amazing 15 year old. Thats about it I guess. I'm glad to finally be part of a chapter that has people that can actually relate to the grandure that is Alaska!
