Musher Q & A

How many years have you been running dogs?

How did you get started running dogs?

Reading Jack London

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

My three daughters have been in charge of naming all of my pups since they were very young - so they decided to use "themes" for each litter. Sometimes they let me help.

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

It's been 25 years since I've seen the trail and I'd like to see it again.

What mushing organizations are you a member of?

Founding member of Mush With Pride
