Musher Q & A

How many years have you been running dogs?
5
How did you get started running dogs?

I started shoveling poop for another musher. The next week a dog team for sale showed up.

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

All my dogs are the dogs other mushers didn't want. They have names like Dopey and such. I didn't get to choose the names, but they fit.

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

I ran the Two Rivers 200 last year. At the finishing banquet a retired musher said I should skip the Iditarod and do the Yukon Quest.

What mushing organizations are you a member of?
