RIGHT MOVES.

Alaska Business

This very magazine is beefing up its bullpen with a few new hires.

* James Barnhill comes aboard as Full-Charge Bookkeeper, responsible for accounts receivable, accounts payable, and payroll. Originally from the Yukon River village of Galena, Barnhill is an eleven-year veteran of the US Marine Corps. His experience with military training was handy in his previous position just outside of Camp Pendleton: for four years, he was principal of West Coast Baptist School, a private K-12 school with thirty students in Oceanside, California. Down the coast in La Jolla, he attended National University and earned a bachelor's degree in accounting. Barnhill enjoys carpentry and hockey.

* Fulvia Lowe is the new Graphic Design and Production Manager, responsible for crafting ads and marketing materials. Originally from Lombardy. Italy, her family emigrated to the United States in 1985. Since then, she's traveled the world, including a road trip from Alaska to the south end of Patagonia, Argentina. Lowe earned a degree in public policy from Montana Tech before switching to graphic design. "My zest for life shows in my personality along with being a creative visionary with the spark to keep things imaginative and artistic," she says. *Scott Rhode recently joined the team as Editor and Staff Writer, where he helps take pressure off the managing editor, polishes articles submitted by freelance authors, and compiles the flashiest feature in Alaska Business: Right Moves! Monthly deadlines are a change from the hourly grind of News Radio 650 KENI, where listeners heard his voice from 1996 until 2020. Rhode grew up in Eagle River and earned a Bachelor of Liberal Studies degree from UAA. He can sometimes be seen on stage in community theater productions.
