Paul ~ While I started Alaska Rainbow Adventures back in 1993 I have been tossing a line, pitching tents, manning the oars, paddle or throttle for myself and the pleasure of others here in Alaska since 1979. Occasionally you can still even find me manning the pots and pans on a trip, something I have been told by my staff and guests that I am actually pretty good at cooking with them, but go figure with all the cooks on the staff and guest chefs pitching in you usually just find me washing them. (Hey someone's got to do it!)

Jacob ~ What can I say about this fellow other then he is a life long Alaskan (3+ years now!) who throws himself at every task with an unlimited supply of youthful energy, enthusiasm, wonderment and the ability to learn something new from every experience, unless of course it's nap time. Yes, he is pretty damn cute and I am a whole lot prejudiced when it comes to praise for this little guy, but his mom and dad did what was arguably their best work together with this one!

All kidding aside ~ Our regular staff of guides reside and earn their living here in Alaska, and bring to the river that unique local knowledge of fishing and Alaska lore you can only get as a resident of the 49th state.

Mike ~ Hmm, where to start, well I should for one find a better photograph but you know at times ths one just fit's!  Ok about Mike, having grown up in Alaska he has pursued and as best myself and the rest who know him can tell Mike may actually have caught almost every species of fresh and saltwater sport-fish this state has to offer. From steelhead in remote salmon drainages in the Aleutians to Halibut off of the tip of SouthEast Alaska, Grayling in the shadow of Denali, and Trout everywhere in between, Mike's seen more water than most folks ever dream of, of course we swear he has gills and was a technical advisor for the underwater scenes in Waterworld.  Having worked as a commercial fisherman, a licensed sea captain, and now as a fishing guide with us Mike is comfortable, and competent in, everything from a one man cataraft to the larger inflatable's we have here at Alaska Rainbow Adventures, and then there is that 600 foot ocean vessel, but you'll have to ask him about that.  We should mention Mike's other claim to fame - He shows no fear in the kitchen, his meals almost always illicit "oooohs" and "ahhhs" in camp, (one of the reasons I end up on pots and pans).  His personal dedication to detail on the oars, with a rod, and with a spatula are all factors that make him a good fishin' pard, and a top-notch guide.  Now if we can just get him to cut his hair and stop singing Jimmy Buffett songs off-key while rowing.....

Grant ~ Is a transplant to Alaska but has been in state quite a few years now and actually started guiding with us the week of 9/11.  Needless to say he proved he could handle the most unexpected of situations and did so with a quiet calm and professionalism that has him leading many of our Alagnak and Moraine creek trips.
