From professional skiing and Hollywood film sets to the unpredictable waters of Bristol Bay, Heber author Marc Vance has lived more than a few lives. In his debut memoir, "The Commercial Fishermen," Vance recounts how he and his identical twin brother were sent to Alaska just days after graduating from Park City High School, launching a commercial fishing career that would span 45 seasons. He joins Mountain Money to share stories of brutal weather, sleepless days, boom-and-bust salmon runs and the tight-knit communities that make up one of America’s most demanding industries.
