Phil Prax and Mae Marsh hail from Alaska and know the joy of a reprieve from winter snow removal and subzero temperatures. That is why they envisioned and built Alaska Reprieve (AKA Prax & Associates)
Phil was born in Minnesota and relocated to Alaska when he was 14 years old. Phil’s family-owned and operated bakery/restaurant in downtown Fairbank. Phil refers to this as his “child labor days” which imbued him with a hard work ethic and a generous nature. Phil is a trained APA mechanic, he loves planes and flying. In the Alaska summers, he enjoys his Cessna 175 and in September he relishes moose hunting at the family's remote cabin. Phil worked for several Alaska-based airlines and for the Alaska pipeline for over 30 years as a station manager and mechanic. Phil traveled the world and first visited Belize in the early ’80s where he fell in love with the land and the people.
Mae is from the east coast but has lived in many places throughout the world. Mae’s background includes a distinguished 27-year federal career and almost five years with the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Her 35-year association with military organizations granted her the opportunity to experience and enjoy diverse geographic locations, workplaces, and cultures. She was born in Maryland but lived and worked in San Diego, CA; Charleston, SC; Fort Dix, NJ; Lawton, OK; El Paso, TX; Tacoma, WA; Germany; The Netherlands; and has called Fairbanks home for many years. Mae first traveled to Belize in 2015 where she fell in love with the small fishing village of Placencia.
Together, Phil and Mae set out to create a place where others can enjoy the peace of mind they have found in Placencia. Due to the couple’s extensive travel, they have a high bar for comfort and amenities. Every detail of Alaska Reprieve was developed with your relaxation in mind. Phil and Mae look forward to sharing their reprieve in the hopes you will enjoy it as much as they do!
