Musher Q & A

How many years have you been running dogs?
13
How did you get started running dogs?

I got my first dog from a guy in Lac St-Jean. I started to hook her up to my bike, rollerblading, skateboard and a small sled. I started working for someone giving rides and eventually built up my own team.

How did your dogs get their names?/ How do you choose names?

We sometimes let our daughter pick the names. Sometimes we go with a theme. Sometimes it just goes with their personality

Why did you enter the Yukon Quest? What are your goals for the race?

About 9 years ago I thought it would be nice to run the Quest since we had just had puppies. We now have a kennel of 14 dogs so I have been working toward that goal ever since. My goal is to see and cross the finish line!

In 2013, when I first tried to complete the CanAm 250. I was touched by all the volunteers encouraging me to keep going. They are patient and helpful!
