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

I first got involved with iditarod because I was involved with sled dogs in the lower 48. And when I got to Alaska, I really wanted to be involved with the iditarod.

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

What kept me coming back? I started getting more and more dogs and I was helping a lot of the mushers. And finally I decided to run the race and I ran it a couple of times.

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

My most memorable iditarod experience was being beaten by Susan Butcher, Libby Riddles, and DeeDee Jonrowe.

I know I’ll never be the man my mother was.
