In 1995, with a truck full of Siberian Huskies, they moved to Wasilla, Alaska in search of more winter and better trails. In 2002 they relocated to Two Rivers, Alaska where they now operate Paw Print Bed & Sled and raise and train Alaskan and Siberian Huskies. Devan says after he ran his first 200 mile race, he became interested in running the Iditarod. Devon started the Iditarod in 2001 but was not able to finish, he returned to finish 50th in 2002. In his spare time he enjoys home building, woodworking, fishing and driving dogs.
