Philip Freeman
Phil was born and raised in Alaska. He has lived and worked around the world, but is always drawn back to the grandeur of Alaska. He started Alaska Rider Tours in 1998 with just three used motorcycles, and a dream to share Alaska. He is the founder and a managing partner of MotoQuest.
Phil believes we all have choices in life, and motorcycling the world is the best of them.
