Biography
Todd Denick was born on November 10, 1975 in Virginia.

After finishing graduate school, Denick moved to Two Rivers, the community he now calls home. The Iditarod became a dream after reading voraciously about Alaska and meeting Barb and Lisa Moore from a tip by his grandmother who lives in Fredericktown, Ohio.
Denick currently resides in Two Rivers with his three house dogs, Gaihllimh, Shee and Reba and his sleddogs. He teaches British and American Literature at West Valley High School in Fairbanks, where he has worked for the past three years.,
