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

I first became involved with Iditarod via my mom. I just got signed up to help out with the dogs.

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

I’m here today and involved with the Iditarod because I really like being with the mushers and hanging out with the dogs. It’s just really cool to be with people who go so far of a distance.

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

One of my most memorable Iditarod experiences was I got to hang out with some dogs that got left behind because they were injured, and it was just really cool.

What in life do you know for sure?

What I know for sure in life is that God is always in control, always in charge.
