What, who or how and when did you first get involved with the Iditarod?
I first became involved with the Iditarod just a couple years ago as a spectator, but as a kid in school following along really was the first time.
What is your Why? Why are you here TODAY and involved with the Iditarod?
I’m here today because I love these sled dogs. They’re amazing athletes and just amazing to watch.
Tell me about just one of your most memorable Iditarod experiences:
My most memorable Iditarod experience was actually spectating for the 50th anniversary last year and just watching everybody in the crowd go wild.
What in life do you know for sure?
What I know for sure in life is dogs make everything better.
