Hugh Neff, 40, was born in Tennessee. He grew up in Evanston, Illinois and attended Loyala Academy and the University of Illinois. Before moving to Alaska in 1995, Hugh worked as a golf caddy in Evanston, Illinois. He says he moved to Alaska "on a hunch." After reading one of Lew Freedman's books and hearing Hobo Jim's Iditarod song, he began thinking about someday running the Iditarod. He lists his occupation as forest dweller and dog musher. He is a member of the Boy Scouts of America and says he enjoys canoing. |
