What, who or how and when did you first get involved with the Iditarod?
We got involved with Iditarod, actually with the Redington group as IditaRiders, my daughter and my wife, and then moved on from there to becoming sponsors. We’re out here to help whenever.
What is your Why? Why are you here TODAY and involved with the Iditarod?
My daughter is why. Because her school was tracking the Iditarod, and so I told them that if they followed it all the way to the end, the next year, I’d take a couple of them out here, which is what I did.
Tell me about just one of your most memorable Iditarod experiences:
Every year is great, man. I mean, hard to pull one out of all of it. Because every year has something unique that stands out by itself, and so they all go together. I would probably say though, if you push me, my daughter riding the first time.
What in life do you know for sure?
A dog’s love. Always.
