Howard Weaver

Howard Weaver was born in Anchorage. Alaska in 1950 and lived there with brief interruptions for 45 years. In that time he lived, worked and played across the state—as a cannery hand and set netter in Bristol Bay, river rafter in the Arctic and cabin-builder in Kachemak Bay. Mostly, though, he was a newspaper journalist in Anchorage who started covering high school sports events and ended up as editor of the state’s largest paper.

Weaver helped lead the Anchorage Daily News to two Pulitzer Prizes, hosted a public television program for 10 years and was named one of the 40 most influential Alaskans in the first 40 years of statehood.

He is married to Barbara Hodgin and now lives mostly in Northern California. Learn more and find and contact information at howardweaver.com.
