Nick Jenkins grew up in the windy, high desert plains of Laramie, Wyoming. As a child, he watched ski movies and dreamed of visiting places like Alaska. In 2010, Nick enrolled in the Outdoor Studies program at Alaska Pacific University and drove north, searching for adventure. He was immediately drawn to the Matanuska Valley, where he began working as a guide on the Matanuska Glacier.

Nick manages the helicopter program for Nova Alaska Guides in Knik, Alaska, and serves as the Guide Operations Manager for The Eleven Experience at the Rio Palena Lodge in Northern Patagonia. He now splits his time between Palmer, Alaska, and Patagonia, Chile, with his wife, Iris, their son, Cedar, and their dogs, Bora and Gaucho.

Yoga instructor, college professor, and Alaskan dog dad. David wears many hats. The list goes on and probably like a lot of us finds it hard to really define himself. His primary focus is working for Turiya of Alaska an organization which he helped confound seven years ago. Turiya’s primary mission is to provide mindfulness, therapeutic movement and related activities within mental health, recovery and correctional settings. You may learn more about his work by checking out Turiya of Alaska’s website or attend his Saturday morning community yoga class.
