I love to work with dogs, it has become a huge part of my life and fits in well with my passion for the outdoors. I share this passion with my wife Rhonda and my 2 amazing kids. When we aren’t training for races we are usually up to some other adventure with the dogs. We call our kennel “Paws on Patrol Mushing.” I enjoy the challenge that this race offers and that it is close by, just down the shore on Lake Superior.

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO START RUNNING SLED DOGS AND HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU STARTED?
My wife Rhonda’s passion for sled dogs got me hooked in about 2004. I quickly realized that it paired well with my passion for fishing and travelling in the wilderness. I started mushing at 21 years old and we have had our own dogs since 2006.
