Michael Suprenant, 45, was born in Germany while his dad was stationed there. He spent his youth living in Germany, Texas and New Mexico. After High School he joined the Air Force as an avionics technician, working on various aircraft including F-4s, A-10s, C-130s, C-5s, C-141s, KC-10s, KC-135s and the C-17. Mike has spent time all over the world including Hawaii, Japan, Australia and Saudi Arabia. He came to Alaska with the Air Force in 1997 and says he volunteered for Alaska expecting great skiing and fishing. He began thinking about the Iditarod at that time and became an Iditarod volunteer. After the Air Force, he decided to stay in Alaska to pursue his Iditarod dream. He began mushing in 2000 and moved to Chugiak from Anchorage to be able to run dogs. With some great advice from Iditarod veterans and his own experiences as a volunteer on the trail he crafted a plan to run the Iditarod. Mike currently is a Civil Service worker for the U.S. Army at Elmendorf A.F.B. He has a BA in Business and has been in contracting for three years. Michael is a member of the Chugiak Dog Mushers and lists his hobby as potato farming. |
