He says he moved to Alaska "looking for new challenges" and to see what mushing is all about. After working with Martin Buser in 2002 and 2003, he and his wife, Andrea, started their own kennel. The now own and operate a 45 dog kennel. They bred and raised all the dogs themselves and are excited to expose them to racing. Sven is a wild land fire fighter with Pioneer Peak during the summer months. In his spare time, Sven enjoys running and reading.
