Biography
Kristin, 32, was born and
raised in Ft. Worth, Texas. She graduated with
honors from the University of Montana with a degree
in photojournalism. She lived in Montana where she
worked for a while for the local newspaper and then
worked for the Forest Service there. She came to
Alaska in 2009 to take care of a cabin and
recreational team for a friend. She soon married
Andy and became the lead back country ranger for
Denali. While handling for four time Iditarod
champion, Jeff King, Andy and Kristin started their
kennel in 2011. They bought four puppies from Jeff
King and 10 acres of raw land outside Healy. Then
they began to work hard toward their dream of
running a thousand mile race. In 2012, they trained
Brent Sass’ yearling team and at the end of
the season, they split the rookies with Sass. They
also did a breeding with Michael Williams,
Jr.’s team and that rounded out their kennel
with “three amazing bloodlines.”
“Now, five years later, we have 27 dogs. Last
year, we achieved our goal of running 1,000 miles
by finishing 15th in the Yukon Quest with a strong
12 dog team. We can’t wait to see the
beautiful Iditarod trail. After all, there’s
no better way to see and experience the country
than on the back of a dog sled.” Kristin is
currently a wilderness planner for the National
Park Service. She says she enjoys writing,
backpacking, exploring wilderness and playing
music.
