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

I first became involved with Iditarod after watching Robert Sørlie win it. I got into dogs, the biggest dream was to run Iditarod. So in 2013 it finally happened.

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

I’m here today and involved with the Iditarod because this will be my 10th time running it. I really like the race.

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

I think one of my most memorable Iditarod experience was probably my rookie year, because everything was so new and exciting and I watched the movies and it was just pure joy, the whole way, and I had a blast.

What do you know for sure?

What I know for sure in life is that we’re all going to die. That’s the only thing I know for sure.
