Explanation:

For those of you who do not know me, I should introduce myself. My name is Ron Somerville and I am a 73

year resident of Alaska. My folks moved to Alaska when I was a year old and took up permanent residence in

Craig, Alaska. I worked my way through College commercial fishing in the summers and eventually received a

Bachelor Degree in Wildlife Management from Humboldt State College in Arcata, California and a Master

Degree in Wildlife Management from the University of Montana in Missoula, Montana. My 24 year career in

the Alaska Department of Fish and Game included stints as a research biologist, management biologist, habitat

biologist, Regional Supervisor, Director of Wildlife Conservation and Deputy Commissioner. I also served as

the National and International Director for the Wildlife Legislative Fund of America and Executive Director for

the Alaska Outdoor Council. The last 12 years of my career were dedicated to the position as Resource

Consultant to the Alaska Legislature and eventually to the Governor of Alaska.
