Luther Jenson
Guide & Lodge Manager
Born in Minnesota, Luther moved to Prince of Wales Island with his family in 2007. He instantly realized that he had “arrived”, and had no intentions of calling anywhere else home. He’s intimately aware of the blessing it was to grow up in such a place, with so much opportunity in the outdoors, “without all the people”. He took his first job in 2011 at Adventure Alaska Southeast. He paid his way through a civil engineering degree, guiding and running charters for the lodge, and stayed right at home after graduation to take over lodge operations entirely. He’s been operating this lodge since 2020, and is having a ball doing it.
