Our Story:

Brett Veerhusen and Sierra Anderson co-founded The Real Alaska (TRA) to share their unique commercial fishing upbringings with the world. Over the years our audience continues to grow beyond commercial fishing into a myriad of other Alaskan adventures. We’ve brought on various contributors to share their motivations and inspirations, however our message has not changed. The Real Alaska showcases the epic adventures of our contributors.

Our goal is to share with the world what inspires us as Alaskans, and offer a destination for other Alaskans to share their stories. The content we provide is unique because it is produced by those with true Alaskan experiences.

We will only feature specific companies, entities or activities that we as Alaskans believe best represent our beautiful state. Our recommendations are only those that we would give to family and friends, just like we do to our community of readers.

What was once a side project, has turned into a lifestyle. Our voice extends throughout Alaska and our goal is always to respect the last frontier.

In 2011 we launched our apparel line and TRA thanks Whitney Anderson (yes, Sierra’s sister) whose company Big, Bold, Fierce helped design some of our clothing.
