What is Your Sundog Story?

Part of the Sundog team since July, 2022 –  I am currently a student at The Master’s Seminary at Anchorage Grace Church. I developed many tech/web skills growing up as a missionary kid, so when I discovered Sundog, I jumped at the chance to use these skills alongside brothers & sisters in Christ. I am excited to serve the Alaskan community with Sundog as I pursue a life of ministry here with my family.

What is Your Alaska Story?

I was introduced to Alaska by volunteering at Kingdom Air Corps (located in Chickaloon) for the summer of 2017. After that experience, I believed the Lord was leading me to pursue long-term ministry in Alaska, particularly in the remote village of Anaktuvuk Pass. I was trained as a pilot through Kingdom Air Corps and served in the village for a few winter seasons with my wife. We then moved to Los Angeles to pursue further biblical education at The Master’s Seminary. When we were invited to consider transferring to their Anchorage extension site, after much prayer and consideration, we joyfully took the chance to move back to Alaska! We now live in the Sand Lake area of Anchorage.

What Do You Do For Fun?

I love being with my family: my wife and I have one 2-year old son and another son on the way. We enjoy exploring God’s creation, eating at home or on picnics, playing at the park or with Legos, and worshiping the Lord together. I love nature & wildlife photography, various sports, hiking/backpacking, and studying the Greek New Testament.

How Did You Get Into This Gig?

When I was a missionary kid in Russia, most of our lives were centered on computer screens for school and English-speaking fellowship. My dad was a computer specialist prior to serving on the mission field, so I probably inherited most of my tech skills from his influence. I also inherited a love for art from him, and applied it to graphic & web design where I could employ my tech/art skills together. I taught myself most of these skills, but benefited greatly from online courses and tutorials.

Where Do You Get Your Inspiration?

My greatest love, by grace, is my Lord Jesus Christ. Thus, my primary inspiration flows from studying His Word. My goal is to obey and please Him by faith, aligning my desires with His. Another avenue of spiritual inspiration comes from reading Christian biographies – my recent favorite is Iain Murray’s two-volume set on the life of D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones published by Banner of Truth. I glean design inspiration from God’s beautiful creation, especially mountain scenery like we have in Alaska!

Stone Soup Group

Stone Soup Group could not be more pleased with our end product! We had a lot of ideas, and a few different populations to reach with just one site. Sundog helped us figure out what was possible, and built tools to best meet our audience’s needs (all while making it look pretty)!   . . .

Alaska Mobile Veterinary Surgery
I was most impressed with how responsive the Sundog team was to our suggestions and how quickly changes were made.  When something wasn’t right, they worked diligently and very patiently to create the website we desired.  They have also continued to be responsive after the launch, providing information to help us help ourselves with regard to internet marketing.

Alaska Goaltending Academy

After nearly a year of owning a domain but never finding the time to actually build content, we decided to reach out to Sundog Media for help and it was the best decision we ever made. Joe and his team were so helpful and gave us incredible ideas on how our website can make our business more efficient and user-friendly. I strongly recommend Sundog Media to anyone looking to have a professional website built for them at a reasonable cost.

Vellum, LLC

We wanted a website that distinguished ourselves from other law firms, a website that was more than a mere online brochure, and one that was built on a new platform called Jekyll. Joe Law and his team at Sundog Media delivered exactly what we wanted within our budget. You can’t get any better than that. Thanks Sundog for your great work.

Little Mouse Family

When my new book was ready for release, I needed a website that was not only spectacular and beautiful, but also accessible for visually impaired folks.  Naturally, I turned to my own team and they delivered in a big way.  Nothing compares to watching my friends with visual impairments light up as they access a site with easy navigation and full image description.  I’m so grateful to be a part of this remarkable team.
