Biography

Dog mushing has been a way of life since I was born. Iditarod is a celebration of Alaska’s rich history and the coming of spring across the state. Racing the Iditarod for me is the proving ground for our breed of dogs and the time on the trail meeting old friends and making new ones.

There is nothing I have found that compares to the challenge of training, building, breeding, preparing for and traveling across 1,000 miles of Mother Nature’s bounty by dog team during Iditarod. It is an honor to be able to participate in the Iditarod and be a part of celebrating the history of the state sport.
