We'll Never Forget the First Day on the Water
1982
Hooking the Initial Line in Alaska
At age 19, Clint spent his first summer in Alaska as a fishing boat deckhand. This is where he first fell in love with the land, people, food, wildlife, and traditions of the Cook Inlet.
1983
The Dawn of the “Skiff Man” Entrepreneur
Clint saw an opportunity to help fishers rest, save time, and generate more volume by picking up the incoming fish in a smaller boat and bringing them into the harbor lines, also known as Skiff Tendering. This earned Clint the nickname “Skiff Man” among local fishers.
1984
A Growing Seasonal Community
Growing a business operation, community, and passion for Alaska fishing, Clint invited his friend and eventual brother-in-law, Mike Schwab, to join him for a summer Skiff Tendering. The relationships forged at this time laid the groundwork for Kenai-Red today.
2013
A Return to Passion, Community & Family
Leaving a corporate career in capital investment, Clint and his daughter Allison founded Kenai-Red Fish Company to share their love of Alaskan fish with Portland, OR and beyond, bringing healthier, more sustainable options to tables.
2020
Scaling an Epic Family Fishing Adventure
As the business expanded nationwide, the family acquired its property and processing plant in Alaska. Mike joined as General Manager, and Clint’s second daughter Rachel Sullivan joined as Finance and Payroll Manager for 12+ team members.
