Dave and Muna are the Executive Directors at Leonard’s Landing, now in their seventh season. Drawn back to Yakutat by its beauty and world-class fishing, they will be on site to open and close the season and will be around on occasion throughout the summer.

Married for over 28 years, their warmth and hospitality help create a welcoming, at-home experience for every guest.

Steve is the General Managers and Mara is the Office Manager at Leonard’s Landing.They bring strong leadership, teamwork, and genuine hospitality, along with a shared love for the outdoors that helps create a welcoming and hardworking atmosphere for every guest. Though they call the Pacific Northwest home, they have fully embraced their time in Alaska and all it has to offer.

They enjoy fishing together whenever they can and have five grown children back home. This year, they are celebrating six years of marriage, a partnership that shines both at work and in life.

Colt returns for his third season in maintenance and is a valuable asset to Leonard’s, known for his versatile attitude and strong hands-on experience. An avid outdoorsman, he enjoys hunting, fishing, and motocross, his pup, “Bear” and is always looking for his next adventure. He’s currently Leonard’s winter caretaker, and is as always chasing new experiences wherever he can.

Originally from Phoenix, Chance is back for his 5th season at Leonard’s as our fish processing manager. He’s passionate about the outdoors and spends his free time trail running, backpacking, and fishing whenever he gets the chance! The fish-house is the heart of Leonard’s and we are very thankful to have him!

Kailee is a fellow Pacific Northwest native who has a big heart for her family and her beloved pooch, George! She takes pride in making every guest feel welcome and comfortable in a clean, well-kept room. But there’s more to Kailee than her wonderful hospitality—she’s also an incredible fisherwoman! Whether heading out solo in a skiff or catching her limit before her shift even begins, Kailee knows her way around the water. We adore Kailee and feel so lucky to have her as part of the Leonard’s team!

Travis is originally from Oregon and brings years of marina experience from Washington, making him a valuable asset to our team. When he’s not working, he enjoys basketball and has become quite the fisherman over the past year! The staff have even nicknamed him the “Halibut Killer” — a title he’s certainly earned.

We’re grateful to have Travis back for another season and are excited to have him as part of the team!
