Martin Koenig, 56, was born and raised in Switzerland. He moved to the United States in 1973 and became a US citizen in 1978. He settled in Montana in 1980 after arriving on horseback from Colorado. He says, "I traded horses for sled dogs in 1992 and started sprint racing." He moved on to stage, mid-distance and distance racing. He currently operates a 35 dog kennel in Seeley Lake. "I'm getting close to retiring from the sport and would like to run Iditarod before I hang up the harnesses.) A self employed machinist, Martin says he has no time for any other hobbies and interests. |
