I have been running running dogs since the time I could walk, so 21 years. Wow! I am going into my fourth year of college but first year at Lake Superior college in their welding program. I graduated from University of Wisconsin-Superior in spring 2022 with an Associate Degree in Liberal Arts. My passions are dog mushing of course, hiking, camping, canoeing, and fishing. Training is my favorite part about the whole process. Getting to know each individual dog and how they tick. I’m excited for another year.

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO START RUNNING SLED DOGS AND HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU STARTED?
My mom started running dogs before I was born so you could say I was born into it. I’ve been inspired by a wide variety of different mushers, learning different training tactics that keep my training fun and interesting. But I’d say my dogs have inspired my the most with their drive to pull me around.
