Biography
Curt Perano, 40, was born in New Zealand and raised in Singapore, Europe, the United States and New Zealand. He began running dogs in 2000 and in 2007 moved to Minnesota to handle and work for Jamie Nelson. He and his wife handled for Jamie Nelson for three and a half years. He says, “Jamie had a big influence on how we run dogs.” After leaving Minnesota, they moved to Atlin, BC, and trained there for a year. As of July 2012, their team is staged out of Willow, Alaska. Over the last five years, he and his wife, Fleur, have built and developed their own team, running and racing in the Lower 48 and then last year, the Iditarod. “I enjoy the outdoors and running dogs, and as a result, distance racing became a natural progression.” Curt has been a consultant for the last nine years. In his spare time, he enjoys skiing, scuba diving and other outdoor activities.
