What, who or how and when did you first get involved with the Iditarod?

I first became involved with Iditarod when my friend asked me if I would like to help, and I needed some change in my life. So what better adventure than to come work at the Iditarod?

What is your Why? Why are you here TODAY and involved with the Iditarod?

I am here today and involved with Iditarod because I love dogs, and what better place to be than Iditarod to hang out with some puppies?

Tell me about just one of your most memorable Iditarod experiences.

One of my most memorable Iditarod experience was I built an igloo. That’s my igloo.

What in life do you know for sure?

What I know for sure in life is that you have to take some chances.
