My Story

​

​

Roy is the proud father of eight children and nine grandchildren all born and raised in Alaska. The adult children live in Alaska, Colorado, and Arizona.

Roy completed his first two real estate investments when he purchased two single-family homes in the Spokane Valley, shortly after graduating from high school in 1973. Two years later, at the age of 19, he moved to Alaska and began investing in Alaska Real Estate by owner-occupying duplexes and fourplexes. Today, Roy still owns rental properties and enjoys helping others build their investment portfolios. Roy is still very active in all of his businesses’ activities and continues to help buyers and sellers find the right property for their needs. Roy sells condos, homes, and duplexes to fourplexes, apartment buildings, warehouses, commercial buildings, and leases.

Roy’s work history began as a night janitor at Sunrise Bakery (now known as Wonder Hostess Bakery) in 1975 at the age of 19. Roy worked his way through bakery advancements for 11 years until becoming the general manager of all statewide operations in 1986 at age 30. Roy held the position of General Manager for 10 years until 1996.

Roy then left Wonder/Hostess and started his own large wholesale production bakery, Alaska Pride Bakery. Alaska Pride Bakery was in operation from 1996 to 2000 before it was sold to Wonder Bread in February of 2000.

In 2000, at the age of 44, Roy began his real estate career and has loved every minute of the experience.  He also owns and runs a real estate brokerage, general contracting business, Condo Association, and mortgage brokerage. To this day, his family still calls Anchorage home. Roy expects never fully to retire and to remain an Alaskan forever. (with a lot of vacations to warmer locations in the winter!)
