TJ Squires is a musher from the Iron Range of Minnesota. We are a micro kennel of Alaskan Huskies, and focus on mid distance mushing and dryland mushing. Last year was our first year of sled racing, and this year will be our first using all our own dogs. Outside of mushing, TJ is a graphic designer and outdoor enthusiast. Camping, hiking, and paddling are all things we enjoy.
WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO START RUNNING SLED DOGS AND HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU STARTED?
I was fresh out of college when I took up bikejoring. I was hooked and quickly added dogs and started getting into sledding. Once I hooked up my first ‘real’ team to the sled, there was no turning back.
