The team at Sockeye Cycle comes from a variety of backgrounds. See below for more information on some of our team members.

Alex Moxon – Tour Guide

Alex Moxon – Tour Guide

Prior to Sockeye, Alex did Jeep guiding but has shifted gears from the 4x4 to the 2x1. In addition to venturing on two wheels, she loves trail running, singing with pals, eating smuggled cruise ship fruit, and laughing. Alex revels in the freedom a bicycle offers and is excited to have a good time with whoever will join!
Bekah Eaton – Skagway Operations Manager & Tour Guide

Bekah Eaton – Skagway Operations Manager & Tour Guide

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.
Dustin Craney – President

Dustin Craney – President

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 Townsend – Bicycle Mechanic

Edgar Townsend – Bicycle Mechanic

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.
Grant Verhagen – Tour Guide

Grant Verhagen – Tour Guide

Grant can be described as having a 65 year old soul and a 14 year old’s metabolism all wrapped up in a mid-twenties body. You can find him not taking life too seriously by shaking his tail feather on his bike, yelling from the tops of mountains, making a delicious mess in the kitchen, and doing pretty much anything else that is outside and gathers people together.
Hannah Trujillo – Haines Operations Manager & Tour Guide

Hannah Trujillo – Haines Operations Manager & Tour Guide

Having wandered back and forth across the country a few times and dipped a toe in some fancy and not so fancy international lifestyles, Hannah spun the globe once again and plopped her finger down on Haines, Alaska. For some unclear reason, she enjoys logistics – which coupled with a slight bike riding obsession – she boasts, “seems like I struck gold with a dream job in a dream town.”
Jeff Peterson – Tour Guide

Jeff Peterson – Tour Guide

Jeff Peterson is one cool cat and a Skagway seasonal for his second year. 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 Southeast AK. Best decision ever.
John Grenz – Skagway Shop Manager

John Grenz – Skagway Shop Manager

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.

Sarah Feyers – Bike Mechanic & Tour Guide

Sarah Feyers – Bike Mechanic & Tour Guide

Sarah hails from Michigan and enjoys traveling and cherries. She also likes bikes, birds, and painting in no particular order. She is Sockeye's resident mullet and project-bike expert.
Sean Eaton – Bike Mechanic & Tour Guide

Sean Eaton – Bike Mechanic & Tour Guide

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.
