Ep 73. Evolution, Sacrifice & Grit in Family Business 

Join us for a Family Biz Show first as we talk to Alaska-based fishing & processing company owners Sena & Rich Wheeler of Sena Sea about the sacrifices that come with navigating a business when one of the owners is away for several months of the year (and the grit it takes!) the unique challenges that come with their business and how their time apart adds value and depth to the time they do spend as a family. If you love warm stories about the bonds of family and have an interest in sustainable fishing, you won’t want to miss this episode! 

OUR GUESTS 

Sena & Rich Wheeler* 

Rich and Sena Wheeler* are a third-generation fishing family and work hard to bring home the very best fish. Their goal with Sena Sea is to bring the consistent premium quality that they get to enjoy, direct to their customers, something they just can't and anywhere else.

Sena has a master’s degree in nutrition and Food Science with a specialty in quantifying omega 3's in fish and determining preferred handling practices for premium quality. Rich does most of the fishing for Sena Sea, but they also source from fellow fishermen who share their high-quality standards, and commitment to sustainability. 

Sena Sea are not only fishermen, they also run a small, fisherman-owned custom processing facility in Cordova, AK (60 North Seafoods) where they specialize in premium quality and traceability. This means it never leaves their hands; they have complete control of their entire process.
