Biography |
|
Kent Kantowski, personal history and
information |
Here you will find a list of
some areas that I have been trained in, and/or have more than casual
experience with. There is more, but who can remember everything. |
I am singe, have one adult
son and a grandson. Was a single parent for 8 years. I have lived,
worked and played in Alaska for more than 20 years, and in doing so, have
become knowledgeable in backcountry travel and the activities I indulge
in. (Well enough to be able to enjoy the activity and wise enough to live
to do it again another day.) |
