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

I first become involved with the Iditarod as my dad was a head checker. 

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

I’m here today and involved with Iditarod because I involved with the community

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

One of my most memorable Iditarod experiences was when Jeff King was sleeping and Lance [Mackey] snuck out of here. Said the dogs are leaving, he said, “No, I’m just checking my dogs,” and Carl told me he was taking off.

What in life do you know for sure?

What I know for sure in life is that my dad was involved with the Iditarod.
