Asgard Alaska is governed by an all-volunteer Board of Directors. Our three founders, Glen, Amanda and Scott Kratochvil, serve as the founding board. As we grow, we’ll add directors from the wider Alaska community (our bylaws allow up to 15). The board meets quarterly; meetings are posted on our event calendar.
Glen Kratochvil, President
Glen Kratochvil is Asgard Alaska’s founder, Board President, Treasurer and Executive Director. A University of Nebraska–Lincoln graduate, he came to Alaska in 2004 to serve with AmeriCorps and spent nearly a decade managing nonprofit programs. He’s a builder, woodworker and outdoorsman who has spent years researching open-air museums and Viking history, and he now leads the effort to build one where people of all ages can learn about Norse culture and enjoy Alaska.
Glen spent several years studying open-air museums and living-history sites in Scandinavia and North America before founding Asgard Alaska. Today he handles the organization’s planning, finances and day-to-day operations.
Amanda Kratochvil, Vice President
Amanda Kratochvil is a co-founder and Vice President of the Board of Directors for Alaska Asgard. She has nearly 20 years of service in the nonprofit sector, along with a volunteer background in public service and first response. Mrs. Kratochvil is an active member of the Society for Creative Anachronism, Alaska Bird Club, and the Alaska Pioneer Fruit Growers Association. In her spare time, Amanda enjoys spending time in the Alaskan outdoors, including gardening, foraging, fishing, and backpacking. Her wide range of skills, interests, and experience will be assets to Alaska Asgard.
Scott Kratochvil, Secretary
Scott Kratochvil is a co-founder and Secretary of the Board of Directors for Asgard Alaska. A software engineer and professional writer, he studied computer science and English literature at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln and has taught English in Prague. He has lived and worked aboard the Lady Washington, a replica 18th-century tall ship, helped rebuild a historic farm in Central Bohemia, and hiked the entire Oregon section of the Pacific Crest Trail. He brings a passion for history, literature and the outdoors to Asgard Alaska.
