Biography
At 11 years old, my family made the move from Florida to Alaska so my dad could train for, qualify for, and ultimately race in the Iditarod. At the start of his rookie run in 2016, I proudly drove the tag sled behind him as we mushed through the streets of downtown Anchorage. Ten days later, I was in Nome to witness him finish. Watching him achieve his childhood dream fueled my passion for the Iditarod and deepened my fascination for the dogs, the mushers, and the mushing culture.
This season, I am excited to take on the incredible responsibility of coaching and training Mitch Seavey’s two-year-old puppy team alongside Sadie Lindquist. They are a remarkable group of athletes, and many will be competing in their first Iditarod.
I recognize that I wouldn’t be able to train and race this season without the outstanding support of my sponsors. Their backing is invaluable, and I am ready to make the most of this opportunity.
