Like many longtime Alaskans, he became skilled in many fields to keep up with the changing dynamics of Alaska over his 50-year-plus residency. He was raised in Fairbanks, Alaska, and has held a general contractor's license since he got out of the army in 1965, having served in the 82d Airborne Division and the 173d Airborne Brigade(Sep). In the decades since, he has set up drilling camps all over the arctic coast, worked as a teamster during the first sea lift into Prudhoe Bay, worked on the first section of the Dalton Highway to the North Slope, and was superintendent for some of the larger projects in Alaska. He worked for Alyeska Pipeline Company in many positions to include right-of-way work north of the Brooks Range. Garry Chandler has done a masterful job of translating his personal knowledge of the arctic region of Alaska into Birch's experiences in this book.ver menos
