Lean in Alaska Blog

I am an Alaska Native (Tlingit & Aleut) serving as the Executive Director of Chugachmiut, Inc., an Alaska Native Tribal consortium serving the people of the Chugach. I have been a licensed attorney in Alaska since 1978, although my license is currently inactive while I pursue my passion for improving services for Alaska Natives. I am also a board member for Sealaska Corporation, board chair for the Alaska Native Justice Center, a commissioner for the Alaska Native Rural Justice and Law Enforcement Commission, and as co-chair of the Alaska Federation of Natives Human Resources Committee (with my fantastic co-chair, Ralph Andersen of the Bristol Bay Native Association). I am also the pitching coach for the East Anchorage Thunderbird baseball team.

I always have to mention that I am the lucky father of three wonderful children and my life is greatly enriched by each of them. I graduated from the Princeton University Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs in 1975, and the University of Michigan Law School in 1978. I have been blessed with a great education and the many people who encouraged me as a boy and young man, especially my mother, the late Patricia Mallott Moore. I strive every day to live up to their expectations of me.
