Biography

Jeff Deeter, 33, began mushing at the age of 15. After completing his first Iditarod in 2008 Jeff took ten years away from the race. In that time he met his wife KattiJo, built a home in Fairbanks and started a mushing tour business; Black Spruce Dog Sledding.After following and analyzing years of Iditarod races, Jeff has made it his goal to run competitively. Finishing the last three Iditarods in the top 20, he is planning on taking his team to faster and more competitive finishes in the years to come. “But more than anything, what matters to me is experiencing the trail with my dogs and living this unique dream.”
