Ken Wilson caught the Alaska bug earlier than most. At just 16, he headed north to Alaska through a University of Iowa science program for high school students. He knew this was where he was meant to be and six years later secured a research fellowship sponsored by the Fish and Wildlife Service at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. With nothing but a backpack, he landed at the Fairbanks International Airport certain of one thing: his wandering spirit had found its way home.
Ken worked for various state and federal agencies before starting up his own environmental consulting business, which he enjoyed for five years before joining Alyeska in 2001. With a double major in Environmental Science and Biology, topped off with a Master’s in Wildlife Management, he was more than qualified to begin his dream job as a Fish and Wildlife Subject Matter Expert for Alyeska Pipeline. Today, Ken conducts surveillance along the pipeline, monitoring environmental performance and keeping Alyeska in compliance with permitting regulations. |
