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

I first became involved with Iditarod through work with GCI, setting upset sat comms for the insider team.

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

I’m here today and involved with Iditarod because they needed a technician to come out and assist with it, and there were very few others available who had the skillset to pull this off.

Tell me about just one of your most memorable Iditarod experiences. One of my most memorable Iditarod experiences was doing a pirouette in an airplane on a runway at Nikolai.

What in life do you know for sure?What I know for sure in life is I love Alaska.
