Alaska Young Fishermen's Summit graduates put conference skills into practice

摘要

Juneau entrepreneurs Iris and Chris Nash know a thing or two about juggling home and work life. The married couple is raising two young sons while power trolling for coho and king salmon during the summer and dinglebarring for lingcod and rockfish inspring.Graduates of the Alaska Young Fishermen's Summit, the Nashes own a 47-foot sailboat troller, the F/V Orion. They used to live aboard the boat, and plan to again, but for the winter, they're settling in with family in Juneau to keep costs low and have help raising Yakobi, 4, and Espen, 2. This allows them to invest more in their new direct marketing venture after spending the past three years living and fishing out of Sitka.
