I have a small kennel of Siberian Huskies based out of central Wisconsin.. I rescued my first Siberian back in 2017 and was hooked. This is my 4th year running dogs. I look forward to every moment I get to share on and off the trail with these incredible animals.

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO START RUNNING SLED DOGS AND HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU STARTED?

I’ve always been fascinated with the lifestyle and the beauty of being out in the most remote terrain possible with a team of dogs. I started running dogs at 29 years old.
