Ed Stielstra, 37, and his wife, Tasha, own and operate a dog sled touring business and racing kennel in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. He was born and raised in Ludington, and graduated from Michigan State University with a Bachelor of Science degree and then from Lynam Briggs University in biology. He moved to the upper peninsula about five years ago in search of "space and snow." He has owned and operated Nature's Kennel Sled Dog Adventures for the last five years. He sums up his interest in the Iditarod by saying, "I love running dogs." He enjoys traveling with his "wonderful wife, Tasha," Utopian thought and taking long walks with puppies.
