He is a young attorney who recently founded a state-wide law practice. He has served on the board of Homer Softball Association, Fisheries for the Future and is involved in local athletic programs. He is the founding partner and CEO of Inlet Law.

The board also elected officers at the December meeting. Re-elected were Aaron Weisser as President; and Beth Wythe as Secretary. Newly elected were Preston Simmons as Vice President and Mike Dye as Treasurer. The officers and new board members officially take office at the next board meeting scheduled for Wednesday, January 28 at 6:30pm in the hospital’s conference rooms, lower level, entrance B.
