What, who or how and when did you first get involved with the Iditarod?
I first became involved with the Iditarod when I moved to Alaska about seven years ago, and just seeing the news about the Iditarod every March just got me interested. Actually getting hands-on involved didn’t start until my first year working with Northern Air Cargo on the ramp when I would help load and unload the dogs on the trail.
What is your Why? Why are you here TODAY and involved with the Iditarod?
I’m here today involved with the Iditarod as an IditaRider, sponsored by Northern Air Cargo, longtime sponsor of the Iditarod and supporter.
Tell me about just one of your most memorable Iditarod experiences:
For me, the most memorable part of the Iditarod is getting to meet these guys and see how they treat their dogs with such respect and love despite asking so much of them.
