What, who or how and when did you first get involved with the Iditarod?
I first became involved with the Iditarod in 2013 when I was qualifying. And then I raced in 2014, 2015.
What is your Why? Why are you here TODAY and involved with the Iditarod?
I’m here today involved with the Iditarod because I would like to race again and I’ve had the opportunity to race with Mitch Seavey’s kennel.
Tell me about just one of your most memorable Iditarod experiences:
One of my most memorable Iditarod experiences was being stuck on the ice in Koyuk. It was a long, long, tenuous adventure, but I managed to make it to Koyuk.
