What is your Why?.. Why are you here today and involved in Iditarod?:

I GUESS I CALL IT PAYING IT BACK. BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE VOLUNTEERED FOR RACES THAT I RAN. AND SO I’M GIVING BACK TO THE RACING COMMUNITY.

Tell me about your most rewarding experience on Iditarod?:

OK. I THINK THE BEST EXPERIENCE FOR ME WAS RUNNING THE RACE IN 2009. I RAN A TEAM OF TWO YEAR OLDS AND HAD A GREAT TIME. JUST HAD FUN. YEAH, DIDN’T RACE TOO HARD OR ANYTHING. AND HAD A LOT OF GOOD INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER MUSHERS AND, YOU KNOW, IT WAS FUN.

What do you know for sure?:

THAT WE NEED A NEW PRESIDENT.
