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

I first became involved with Iditarod in 2011 as a volunteer.

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

I’m here today and involved with Iditarod because I’ve been the musher lot coordinator for the past few years.

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

One of my most memorable Iditarod experiences was in 2020 when we got about 24 inches of snow on race day, and it was quite a mess.

What in life do you know for sure?

What I know for sure in life is that I enjoy Alaska to the fullest.
