Biography

I’ve been mushing dogs for 30 years and run a tour kennel close to the world-famous ice hotel in Sweden.

I have a background as a hockey player- a goalie. I love sports and to be out with my best friends, my dogs.

I love the mushing world with a lot of friends and the amazing hospitality in Alaska. This is my seventh Iditarod.
