Jim Lanier, another doctor and Iditarod musher, encouraged Robert to begin competitive mushing in the early 90's and he has been mushing ever since. His wife Joan has been his constant and enthusiastic fan and in recent years, Bryan Bearrs, Zach Steer and Kathy Farinyarz have been essential support.
