Musher Q & A

How many years have you been running dogs?
6
How did you get started running dogs?

I read a book by Gary Paulsen about dogsledding and thought it would be cool to try, then suddenly I had a full team.

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

I hope to get one of my Iditarod qualifiers down and get more experience with longer races.

What do you love most about running sled dogs?

I love being around dogs and seeing each of their personalities. Seeing the dogs all work together in a team is an amazing thing.

What music do you listen to on the trail?

None.
