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

THE DOGS ARE THE MAIN REASON. AND I WANTED TO SEE WHAT THEY’RE CAPABLE OF. I’VE BEEN WORKING WITH THEM FOR A FEW YEARS AND THIS IS KIND OF THE ULTIMATE CULMINATION OF ALL THAT.

Tell me about your most rewarding experience on Iditarod?:

EVERYTHING LEADING UP TO IT, ALL THE MILES IN THE TRAIL BEFORE THIS.

What do you know for sure?:

EVERYBODY HAS SOMETHING TO TEACH.
