Musher Q & A

How many years have you been running dogs?

6

How did you get started running dogs?

Trapping in Northern BC as a kid, got on a dog team for that then started racing as a young teen.

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

I really liked running the Quest in past years. I have some young dogs and I would really like to show them the trail.

What do you love most about running sled dogs?

The traditional values of traveling the Yukon and the history behind it. The connection you have with your team and the competitive aspect. Travelling through these remote places in the dead of winter.

Tell us about your dogs, particularly some stories or facts about dogs running this year's race

My dogs are characters for sure. Either just being goofy in the dog yard or leading you through a storm. They are always there with a positive attitude and ready to go!

What music do you listen to on the trail?

Country.

What mushing organizations are you a member of?

None.
