Atz Kilcher, Founder

Heroes Healing Homestead, Alaska

Atz Kilcher is a military veteran, musician, and advocate for veterans’ healing. Serving in Vietnam from January 1967 to October 1968, he understands firsthand the challenges many veterans face upon returning home. Beyond his service, Atz is an Alaskan treasure, known for his storytelling, music, and deep connection to the land.

He gained national recognition through the Discovery Channel series *Alaska: The Last Frontier*, which follows him and his family as they navigate the rugged wilderness. However, it’s what Atz has done with that platform that truly defines his legacy.

Passionate about the healing power of nature and music, Atz founded *Heroes Healing Homestead*, a nonprofit sanctuary in Alaska dedicated to supporting veterans. This retreat offers a space for connection, renewal, and healing, allowing veterans to find solace in nature and camaraderie with others who have walked similar paths.

Committed to uplifting fellow veterans, Atz has traveled across the U.S., sharing his message and music. Through his work, he continues to inspire and support those who have served, using the power of music, storytelling, and the great outdoors to foster healing and resilience.
