Biography
I am originally from Greenville, PA. In 2002 I married my wife and moved to Anchorage, Alaska for a “two-year adventure.” 21 years later we are still here raising a family and living the Alaska dream. I started mushing dogs when I moved to North Pole, AK skijoring with two dogs from Aaron Burmeister on the Chena River. My feet got cold so I got a couple more dogs and a sled and it took off from there. I want to thank my wife for her bottomless well of support in this mushing lifestyle and thank my kids Will, Julia, and Iris for their support.
