Short biography: "I've spent perhaps 30 years of my life in Alaska. Our family left in 1955 and we returned in 1966. My dad was a drywall contractor and homebuilder; so my working career began a little earlier than most. We also had a family band and played clubs around Anchoage, Palmer and Wasilla; mostly weekends. Dad and I worked together in music about 6 years then I worked for different groups another 6 years. In 1977 I became a Christian and started a different way of life. I believe it's not how you start but how you finish."
Mr. Heikes and his wife, Gail "Marie" reside in Palmer, Alaska.
