His consulting practice concentrates on state and local taxes (SALT) with a focus on oil and gas.

He was able to see some ideas that he had been advocating for years finally make it into law, (if not exactly in the form he had been advocating).  
In the eighties and nineties he was involved as a consultant and expert witness in a number of oil and gas royalty and tax cases both outside and here in Alaska.

Hi! My name is Mike and I am a “life long Alaskan”. I enjoy the outdoors and witnessing the beauty Alaska displays everyday.  I am honored to serve on the AYC Board of Directors; as a student I was active with the AYC Bar Association and I still use the tools I learned then to this day. 20+ years later and I still recall meeting my mentor (Wilson Condon) and learning how to read a P&L statement and the importance the Treasurer plays for the success of the program. The gifts that AYC has given me played an integral part in the rest of my life, I couldn’t imagine a better youth run organization to be a part of.

Kim McNew
Alaska Regional Hospital 

I have lived in Alaska for 11 years and marvel daily at the beauty that surrounds us. I have been a volunteer for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and served on the Board of Trustees for Alaska Regional Hospital for 7 years. I spent time volunteering at Eagle River High School with the junior ROTC program. I was always impressed at how that program developed young leaders. The Anchorage Youth Court has similar core values and goals, so I am honored to be supportive of this program.
