| Welcome, Andrew! | |
SAF is delighted to announce that Andrew Spencer is our new Tours Coordinator.
In 2008 Andrew moved to Seattle from Texas where he received a B.A. in English from Le Tourneau University. He started investigating the Seattle skyline from the Bay as a tour guide for Alki Kayak Tours. His interest led him to apply for a summer internship with SAF and when he heard that Ann Phillips was leaving for graduate school in Oregon, he applied for the Tours Coordinator position.
Andrew may be the first voice and face to greet you. Please help us welcome him to the SAF family.
