My mushing career started when I was in 5th grade. The school had a bunch of outdoor activities and one activity was a dog sled ride. My passion for mushing started that day. I begged mom and dad for a  husky and promised I would take care of it. I got my wish, they bought me a husky puppy. Then I asked for two more so I could have a team.
Three dogs lead to five, then ten, and that is how my mushing and racing career started.
I’ve been mushing now for over 30 years and I’m not sure I’d even know what to do with my time if I didn’t have sled dogs. Mushing has led me to racing in the Midwest and Alaska. I am a four-time champ of the Beargrease and four-time Iditarod finisher including 2014 Iditarod rookie of the year.
