Jim Wilke was born in Nome, Alaska and lived there for 30 years before marrying a traveling nurse and moving to Anchorage. Once in Anchorage, he began a career in business and opened Alaska Power Sports (APS) in 1987. APS started out as a small operation and quickly grew to gain national recognition as the largest Polaris dealership in the U.S. In fact, for 11 consecutive years Alaska Power Sports sold more snowmobiles than any other dealership of any brand in the world.
Following the sale of that business in February of 2001, Wilke looked for a new challenge, and in August of 2001 started The Vortex Group, a recruiting and staffing agency based in Anchorage.
