Steve Laurent - Owner/General Manager of Bristol Bay Lodge. Pilot, photographer S. Laurent photography.I have been involved with Bristol Bay Lodge for more than 24 years. I began guiding at BBL in 1990 and quickly moved into management and control of all annual operations of the lodge and services. I have been the General Manager for the past twelve years and also a pilot who holds both commercial and instrument ratings. I have a huge passion for the land and waters which we fish and an equally strong commitment to the protection and preservation of this extraordinary Alaskan ecosystem. In the winter I can be found in Ellensburg, Washington where I live with my wife Mandi and our three children Ellie, Kate and Wyatt and from where I coordinate all sales, annual purchasing and operational planning for the next exciting season at Bristol Bay Lodge.Contact information Bristol Bay LodgePhone 509-964-2094e-mail slaurent@bristolbaylodge.comSpecialties: In Alaska you have to be able wear many hats to run a remote Alaskan Lodge/operations at this level of service.Steve Laurent holds the following certificates.FAA Private Pilots License, Commercial pilots license, Instrument rated.
