About Heather Reiss: Heather was raised in the far reaches of Northern California. Heather has worked in the outdoor industry in various educational capacities for almost twenty years, teaching in the inspiring landscapes of Nez Perce National Historical Park, Yellowstone, the Tetons, and Denali National Park. She and her husband Roy first came to Alaska in 2011 and spent the following years working out how to make Alaska a permanent rather than a seasonal home. In 2019 they had the opportunity to make the move with their son and now reside full-time in Palmer, AK. Heather currently spends her time working on her graduate degree in Outdoor and Environmental Education through Alaska Pacific University and homeschooling their son, Finnegan, who is now 6.
