Roy’s Personal History:
Roy is the proud father of nine children, and nine grandchildren, all born and raised in Alaska. His adult children now call Alaska, Colorado, and Arizona home, though Alaska remains the family’s heart and base.
Roy completed his first real estate investments shortly after graduating high school in 1973, when he purchased two single-family homes in the Spokane Valley. Just two years later, at age 19, he moved to Alaska and began investing locally by owner-occupying duplexes and fourplexes. Today, he still owns and manages rental properties and takes great pride in helping others build their own investment portfolios. Roy remains active in all aspects of his businesses and continues to assist buyers and sellers in finding the right properties—whether it’s a condo, single-family home, multifamily building, or commercial property.
Roy’s professional journey began humbly as a night janitor at Sunrise Bakery (now Wonder Hostess Bakery) in 1975. Over the next 11 years, he rose steadily through the ranks, ultimately becoming General Manager of statewide operations in 1986 at the age of 30—a position he held for a decade.
In 1996, Roy left Wonder Hostess to start his own large wholesale production bakery, Alaska Pride Bakery, which operated successfully until it was sold back to Wonder Bread in February 2000.
That same year, at age 44, Roy embarked on a new chapter in real estate, where he discovered his lifelong passion. Today, he continues to own and operate several thriving ventures, including a real estate brokerage, general contracting company, association management firm, and mortgage brokerage. He has sold over 3,000 homes in his career.
Anchorage remains home for Roy and his family, and although he jokes that he’ll “never fully retire,” he looks forward to enjoying many warm-weather vacations in the winters ahead—while always remaining an Alaskan at heart.
