Joe Gans, 23, was born and raised in Minnesota. He attended Montana State University for two years, where he studied geography. At that time he wasn’t sure where he was gong in school so he left to give dog sled tours with the Spirit of the North Sled Dog Adventures in Big Sky, Montana. That winter he went to Skagway where he worked with tours that summer for Alaska Excursions. He spent the next winter in Willow, working with Iditarod veteran, Russ Bybee and Moose Crossing Kennel. “Now I am entering Iditarod to spend time with the dogs see a new trail and learn about myself at the same time.” Joe lists his hobbies as fishing, camping, hiking and snowboarding. |
