I have been running and racing Alaskan sled dogs for seven years, competing in longer and longer races. I live in Iowa, which presents a few challenges in itself as to training a team. It could be a bit colder and a little more snow would be great. My wife Tera and I have three boys, Kashton, Holden and Lincoln. I have competed in races in Maine, Montana, Minnesota and MIchigan. I love the extremes that mother nature presents and the care of the dog team.
