Ken Anderson, 35, was born in Minnesota. He says he began mushing at birth as his parents had a recreational team. When he was in sixth grade, his father bought him a book on the Iditarod and he decided to someday compete in the Race. He came to Alaska in 1993 to be a musher and study biology at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. He's been running the Iditarod since 1999. Ken is married to Gwen Holdman, also an Iditarod veteran. Ken says that they feel very fortunate for their mushing lifestyle and have mushed throughout North America. "We look forward to Iditarod all year long," says Ken and "I am very proud to be part of this great race." He lists his occupation as dog musher and says he carpentry, running (sometimes) and horses. |
