Our Tour Manager. We promise he's nicer than he looks, in fact if you're looking for a buddy to ride UP the pass with, he's your guy

Alexis is a warm weather gal who grew up in Florida. She has lived in Hawaii, Cyprus, and Indonesia trading humidity for the cool breeze of Alaska. She has a degree in biology and is a dive master. She loves being outside: hiking, running, biking, and freediving. She is passionate about wildlife, conservation, and sharing Alaska's beautiful landscape.

Bekah is an avid long distance hiker and cyclist. You're most likely to catch her running, hiking, biking, or with a craft beer in hand on a nice day. Otherwise, she'll be cooking, baking, or getting cozy with a big jigsaw puzzle.

Billy, born in Texas and raised in Wisconsin, loves the cold. If he gets reincarnated, he hopes to live life as a crab, scavenging bits of food wherever he can. Billy started long-distance biking when his car broke down on the way from Milwaukee to Madison and he decided to bike instead. After leaving the glorious Alaskan nature he plans to teach in Colombia in the coming year.

Born in Texas and raised in Wisconsin, Bramm has spent the majority of the past 20 years west of the Rockies exploring its beautiful mountains, deserts, and coastlines. He has called Haines home since 2021 when a move there coincided with a decision to turn his passion for outdoor pursuits into a funemployment career path. He is an avid snowboarder/splitboarder and cyclist, and he also enjoys helping people access the amazing sea kayaking and hiking options Southeast Alaska has to offer.

Originally from the foothills of the Appalachian mountains, Charlotte currently lives year-round in Haines. After thru-hiking the AT, she couldn’t bear to return to the cubicle and fled to the North in 2023. She collects driftwood and animal bones in her free time.

Claire is a born and raised Floridian but has no plans on leaving the mountains any time soon. Moving in nature is her favorite thing to do whether that's hiking, skiing, running, swimming, biking, sailing, etc. She loves connecting with people through her passion for the outdoors and will be happy to tell you about her time solo thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail (we can't get her to stop talking about it). Feel free to ask her what song is stuck in her head on tour as there's about a ...

In 2009, Dustin sold everything that didn't fit in his car and drove north to work on bikes in Alaska. The draw of the area was strong and one summer of bike work turned into 15 years and counting with Sockeye Cycle!

Edgar is a bike mechanic who hails from the far off land of New Mexico. He enjoys fishing, biking, hiking, and peace & quiet. Some have described him as ornery, grouchy, and even obstinate, but deep down he's just a little guy.

Emily is the friendliest freckled little forest fairy you will ever meet. From rock climbing and hiking to rafting and foraging, she loves anything that will get her body moving outside (and cycling, duh). This is her fifth total season of seasonal work, second one in Skagway! After taking two years off of traveling and residing in Alabama, she finally found her way back home. You should ask her about leaf sheep sea slug!

Inspired by the vastness of Alaska’s natural history, culture and rich ecology, Hannah is enthusiastic to connect others to this remarkable area. Originally from downtown Denver, CO she is happy to call Southeast Alaska home. She is a mountain biker, backcountry skier, and enthusiastic storyteller.

Jedd is Midwest-raised, loves chasing wildlife away for a perfect photo, always covered in chain grease in the bike shop, but he’s happiest bombing down trails, wandering up mountains, or hanging off a cliff trying to get the perfect shot. Life on two wheels and dirt in his socks—that’s his kind of adventure.

Jeff Peterson is one cool cat and is spending his fifth summer in Alaska. He enjoys anything and everything sports-related, as well as hiking and music. At mostly any given time you can find him goofing off at the Sockeye estate or cracking bad dad jokes on tour. Born and raised in San Diego, he traded Sunny and 75 for the beauty that is Alaska. Best decision ever.

John traded the deserts of Nevada for the temperate rain forests of Alaska. He enjoys multi day backpacking trips, including the nearby Chilkoot Trail. He recently graduated from Bike Mechanic school so you may find him in the back of the shop as well as on the retail floor.

Michael is a former teacher and Georgia native with a passion for hiking and bike touring most recently competing the majority of the Pan-American Highway from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska to Santiago, Chile. He has toured across more than 20 countries on his bicycle all the while looking for birds and other wildlife.

How’s it going! My name is Michael but you can call me Bike-al. I’ve been doing outdoor seasonal work since 2021. My favorite snack is a hot dog with peanut butter. What kind of bird doesn’t need a haircut?

Natalie is coming from Oregon. She’s been hiking and exploring the outdoors as long as she can remember. She enjoys holistic and therapeutic movement such as cycling, running, dancing, yoga, & martial arts. When she’s not going on bike tours, you can typically find her painting, meditating, or making tea.

Sean is a lover of all things human powered endurance travel. He is a minimalist that likes to pack light and travel fast. He can usually be found covering ground biking, hiking, or running through mountains, plains, or deserts. When it's time to relax he likes to read, cook, and practice yoga. Sean calls Southeast AK home in the summertime, and it is his pleasure to share this beautiful part of the world with visitors.
