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

I got involved in the Iditarod when I saw that documentary on Discovery Channel about The Last Great Race on Earth where Lance Mackey and Jeff King … it was that time. And I got so excited and I told myself I want to be involved in that. I don’t want to race, but I will be helping behind the scenes.

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

I’m here today and involved with Iditarod because I just want to be part of the… helping out with the dogs, the community, and I just want to do something that’s fun.

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

One of my memorable Iditarod experiences was… Actually I couldn’t count. There’s a lot, but mainly interacting with the dogs, with the mushers, the people that you work with on the trail. It’s just, that’s one hell of an amazing experience in itself.
