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

 

I’m here today involved with the Iditarod because I’m always looking for adventurous ways to use my veterinary medical skills outside of the clinic, and I certainly do admire the tenacity and athleticism of both the dogs and the mushers that perform in the Iditarod.

Tell me about your most memorable Iditarod experiences?:

I hope to collect a lot of memorable experiences and stories while I’m on the Iditarod trail and look forward to many years of becoming involved.

What do you know for sure?:

 

What I know for sure in life is that the only constant is change.
