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

I got involved with Iditarod with Aaron Peck of Elevation Sled Dogs.

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

I’m here today involved with Iditarod because mostly the dogs, the lifestyle that comes with Iditarod. I love the way of life around it, how it crosses the state of Alaska, a thousand miles. It’s one experience you can’t really miss. Super glad to be here part of it. And it’s all thanks to Aaron Peck.

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

One of my most Memorable Iditarod experience was, oh, yeah, probably flying here. It was my first time flying. It was a fun experience. Yeah. Just flying here.

What in life do you know for sure?

What I know for sure in life is not much, but I know that I’ll be with the dogs for the rest of my life. And that’s about it.
