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

I first became involved with the Iditarod when Dr. Tosi approached me and said, “Hey, would you like to be a volunteer on the Iditarod Trail Committee?” And I was not even aware that was a thing.

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

I am here today and involved with the Iditarod because this sounded like an amazing experience.

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

One of my most memorable Iditarod experiences was the pre-race exams when I first got to meet the mushers and the sled dogs.

What in life do you know for sure?

What I know for sure in life is animals will never cease to amaze me.
