Lodge Chefs
Chefs prepare several courses for the evening meal.
Eric Schultz
Executive Chef
Eric grew up in Kansas, received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Wichita State University
and later graduated from the Scottsdale Culinary Institute. He has traveled most of
North America and loves cooking and rowing. Eric was an alternate for Team USA in
lightweight rowing for the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. Eric works winters as a
chef in Scottsdale, Arizona and spends his summers at Alaska's Boardwalk Lodge.
"I enjoy being at Boardwalk," he says. "It gives me pleasure to see people happy
after a great meal, and there's nothing more enjoyable than seeing them really
enjoy something I've prepared for them."
Julia Carlson
Dining Hostess and Chef's Assistant
In 1978, Julia toured Alaska with a folk band, fell in love with the country and the
people and decided to stay. Since then, she has become a full-fledged Alaskan,
and even lives in a float house, like many native Alaskans. "Alaska changes people,"
she says, "It lures them in, compels them to slow down, and helps them to appreciate
life more."
Julia loves the daily interactions with her guests. "It's wonderful to
see the sparkle in their eyes when they see the incredible beauty here and begin to
get a sense of everything that Alaska has to offer," she remarks. "They remind me of what I experienced
25 years ago."
