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

I first became involved with the Iditarod when I was seven years old, and I came down here because I saw the dogs from my house. Middy worked here, and he had me help him make pancakes, and I got to run with the GoPro.

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

Here today, I’m involved with the Iditarod because I like helping out, and I want to be a veterinarian when I grow up, and there are vets here that I know.

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

One of my most memorable Iditarod experiences was when I was helping Middy cook pancakes, and I flipped it and it landed on the floor.

What in life do you know for sure?

What I know for sure in life is that the snow will come every year and that Iditarod may happen, depending on COVID.
