Episode 6: Keep It Cold

from Breaking Frozen Ground · host Bill Schnabel and Shelly Thomas

Glenn Brady's grandmother was a heavy construction contractor in Alaska before it was even a state. Three generations later, Glenn is a PE, a third-generation builder, the owner of Silver Gulch Brewing in Fairbanks, and a civilian engineer who earned a call sign from a fighter squadron in a ceremony that has no official records. In this episode, Shelly sits down with Glenn to talk about the conversation with a former UAF dean that sent two mechanical engineers down a nerd rabbit hole that changed everything, why he started an entirely new company after one meeting about pilot housing at Eielson, and the thing he's been building quietly that could change the math on how Alaska constructs its future. 🎙️
