Doug FranklinDoug Franklin has spent most of his life in Alaska with the stunning Chugach Range as his backyard and the blue waters of Resurrection Bay just a couple hours down the highway. When he's not hiking, skiing, or kayaking with his blacklab-mix rescue pups, he can be found at his workbench building starship models, rockets, and radio control sailplanes.
