Originally from Detroit Michigan 24 yrs ago after college moved to the Gunflint trail. I live off-grid with my partner Nikki, Otis our house/bird dog, 6 goats and about 20 sled dogs. I was a fishing/ canoe guide and gave sled dog rides for almost 20yrs on the Gunflint trail area, now I work in construction. I enjoy hunting, fishing, foraging, Gardening and cooking besides mushing. I have a bunch of younger dogs in my kennel that I’m looking forward to finding out their potential this race season while making it fun for them. I look forward to hitting the bear grease trail this winter.

What inspired you to start running sled dogs and how old were you when you started?
Kind of just fell in to giving tour rides, 20yrs ago or so.
