Subject:JAG Alaska-Seward Shipyard Facility
Norm &Matt,
lust wanted to drop you two a note and let you know that my wife and I decided to make the permanent
move to Alaska.We made the move last Sunday,most of our belongings made it here yesterday,we will be
renting long term until we can find a house or property to build a house here in the Seward area.We will be
enrolling our two young children Lena (13)and Ave (10)in school here next week. While this was a big
decision for us as we are leaving a lot behind,we are both committed to this decision. My primary base of
operation will be at the Seward shipyard facility,and with my wife working here as well,we will be pulling all
the administrative functions in-house up here as well.
While we are pleased with the performance to date here,we expect there will be an immediate
improvement moving forward as we will have a principal of JAG Alaska here full-time.We believe this was a
necessary step in showing everyone from our employees to the community that we are committed to the
long term growth and success of this facility. I look forward to catching up with you guys when you have time
and/or just bumping into you on the street.Also feel free to stop by the yard anytime...We have a lot of work
lined up already now thru June of 2020,we are hoping to have the USCG SPAR back in for an emergency dry-
docking the 20th of this month,as well as possibly the USCG Fir in December and the USCG Hickory in
January.While the majority of our work continues to come from the commercial side,the USCG work helps
pay the bills and keep steady employment. One of my primary goals now that I am here full-time will be to
get 90%of our employee base being Alaska Residents with in the next 48 months.We believe based on the
last 15 months up here that our average employment level will probably run around 70 people.
If both or either of you have any comments,issues or concerns on the operation to date or moving forward, I
would welcome your feedback,just let me know.
Respectfully,
Tim
