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

I got involved with the Iditarod after moving to Alaska two years ago and have been trying to get in ever since.

What is your Why?..Why are you here today and involved in Iditarod?

I’m here today and involved with Iditarod because of the love for dogs and being involved with the race and caring for the dogs after they run so far.

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

One of my most memorable Iditarod moments so far was flying into the small village of Unalakleet.

What do you know for sure?:

What I know for sure in life is that I always want to work with dogs.
