I started mushing in the winter of 2010-2011 after meeting my husband, Jeff Deeter. For many years I mostly just helped Jeff train his race team. It's only been recently that I've become interested in racing myself. I guess I finally got bored with our home trail system! Was time to see something new. In our kennel we have about 40 dogs, but our race pool for this season is only 18. My main lead dogs are Fierce, Braavos and Qarth. We also operate dog sledding tours in our kennel, in which we try to give people an authentic glimpse at the mushing lifestyle.

People to Thank: Thank you to my husband, Jeff, for teaching me so much of what I know, and always believing in my abilities. And thank you to my mom, for always being my biggest fan.
