Bradford Burke Roche (born February 9, 1960) in Blackfoot Idaho. His parents were Eugene B Roche and Edna Eva (Chris) Kristick. He is most known as a former Fly fishing guide and owner of Chilaska Lodge in Pedro Bay Alaska. He was also active in guiding in southern Chile from 2001 to 2005. From early in his life he has been involved in construction and has had a keen interest in Architecture and traditional building techniques. As a child he dreamed of living and building somewhere far from civilization and surrounded by wilderness. After moving to Alaska from Idaho in 1980 and searching for the perfect location, he settled on Lake Iliamna and began construction, culminating in 1996 as Chilaska Lodge. Since finishing work there, he has been involved in many projects ranging from luxury vacation homes to water treatment plants in remote Alaska villages. Doing business as “Chilaska llc” in the USA and “Chilaska Lta” in Chile, he has pursued the dream of building off the beaten track.
