Tonia was born and raised in Petersburg, Alaska.  She is a 5^th generation PSG resident on both her mother and father’s families.  Her ancestry includes Tlingit Indian, Norwegian and Russian decent.

Tonia has a diverse background in customer service from bartending, bar management, restaurants, grocery stores, a fishing supply store and banking as First Bank Petersburg’s Merchant Teller. 

She spent a handful of years working with her father Ole, at his welding shop, OW Enterprises helping him and her brother Brian maintain Petersburg’s fishing fleet. She has even dabbled a bit in construction and spent some time carrying on years of family tradition working for Icicle Seafoods, a true rite of passage.  After so many well-rounded work experiences she is ready to help her fellow Petersburg neighbors in a new way!  Helping them through their journey to a pain-free life through Chiropractic.

In her free time, you will find Tonia playing pool (don’t bet against her, she’s quite the shark!), sportfishing, camping, and singing with the band Rockfish!
