I returned to Homer in June 2020 to pursue my dream of owning a resort on the shores of the beautiful Kachemak Bay. I fell in love with Alaska Adventure Cabins, originally founded and expanded over a 20-year period by Bryan and Karen Zak, longtime residents of Homer. Homer is world-famous for its views and so many other attractions, and in my opinion, the most beautiful place on earth. I want the whole world to experience it. Homer is home for me. Even though I lived in Southeast Alaska and spent the last 20 years in the Matanuska-Susitna Valley, my heart has always been in Homer. I actually spent the first half of my childhood in Homer. I have fond memories of my family homesteading here, which was somewhat like a lifelong family camping trip, although now we might call it glamping, since the house was weather-tight and the wood stove kept it toasty. Outside the city limits of Homer, electricity, running water, and indoor facilities were nonexistent, and media communication was limited to a battery-operated transistor radio. My parents, like many other homesteaders, packed up their small family and traveled from the Lower 48 to start new lives in Alaska. A year later, my mom flew with the doctor in his bush plane to the medical facility in Seldovia to give birth to my twin brother and me, making a total of five children. That is my humble Alaska beginning. There is no place like Homer: the beautiful countryside, mountains, Kachemak Bay, glaciers, and the community spirit. I look forward to hosting you, and while you are here, you may even be greeted by my small, friendly older dog, Pepi, and cat, Aphrodite. I welcome the opportunity to help you make your visit the trip of a lifetime.
