About The Author

Tom Weaver has lived in Alaska since he moved there as a teenager from Idaho in 1974. He enjoys four private acres in a 2-bedroom cabin in the Soldotna area with his old cat named Kobuk. Over the years, Tom has traveled a lot and has found that Alaska is home, and there is nowhere else he would want to live. He enjoys his free time outdoors as he enjoys the peace, quiet, and privacy that can be found in nature. However, he still enjoys traveling to new places and seeks out new adventures to keep his life exciting. But now, most of his time traveling is spent visiting family or attending shooting competitions. Tom still attends the same same non-denominational Christian church that he and his wife started attending over 10 years ago. The congregation there has been very supportive and encouraging through this Alzheimer's journey. He stays involved with his support group with Alzheimer's Resources of Alaska and still visits his wife's assisted living facility.
