Born and raised in northern Idaho, Ron Walden held many jobs: miner, salesman, carpenter and business owner. Ron relocated, with his wife, to Alaska where he built a log cabin home and learned to fly. Reon retired from Alaska Department of Corrections and did a short tour as a security guard on the Alyeska Pipeline. He now spends his free time fishing and building furniture for friends. If you ask Ron, he's quick to say Alaska is my home. I never tire of its beauty.
