Anchorage, AK — archival, 1987

Anchorage, Alaska · 1987

It started at a kitchen table.

AlaskaMen began with a simple observation: Alaska was full of remarkable single men, and the rest of the world ought to know them. From Susie Carter's Anchorage kitchen table, a bold little idea grew into an enduring celebration of Alaskan character.

More than a magazine.

At its heart, AlaskaMen is a full-color annual magazine and a gathering place for stories of the Last Frontier. It has brought together adventure, humor, honest introductions and the unforgettable men who live life a little farther from the ordinary.

The AlaskaMan spirit.

Independent, capable and sincere—the AlaskaMan is not one kind of person. He is linked by a love for big landscapes, hard work, a good laugh and the welcome at the end of a long trail.

"Rugged enough for the country. Genuine enough for the conversation."

— The AlaskaMan Spirit

Built for connection.

Through magazine features, matchmaking conversations, gatherings and news, AlaskaMen makes room for people to find a sense of belonging—and sometimes something more. The invitation is simple: come as you are, bring your curiosity and enjoy the story.
