Dr. Richard Baerg

I met Lisa when she was working for Kodiak Sportsmans Lodge on Kodiak Island, Alaska. She worked as a coordinator setting up fishing trips from her lower 48 home. She came to the lodge as a guest and fished beside me for most of a week. She is an avid sportswoman but also very importantly, was a part of the team that had its principal goal of ensuring a great experience for the guests. It was not unusual to see her working behind the scene to expedite a great result or just helping the permanent staff perform the very best they could. She was able to handle the multiple personalities one finds in fishing lodges, both guests and staff with skill, patience and integrity. As an example, I was walking around the streets of Kodiak City and she and her husband were actually walking around looking for me to make sure I was OK. It wasn’t her job but she was clearly there for me and wanted to make the experience worthwhile.
