I have lived in Nome, Alaska all of my life untill my recent move to Birmingham, AL. I
really love it here in Birmingham. It has been a nice refuge from my failed mushing career
in Alaska. I still love mushing, but do it now on a pavement track and a sled with
rollerblade wheels on it. And dogs, of course. Dogs have been the one constant in my life. If
it wasn't for dogs, I would be dead. Literally. My fifth dog, Sammy, died several years ago
saving me from a bear attack. I got away and the Bear had Sammy for lunch. That's the way it is with dogs. We save their lives and they save ours. I also play music and write songs. I will be your friend. But if you want a real friend, get a dog.
