Home location: Fort St James
Occupation: Grumpy Old Musher
Kennel: Dog Creek Kennel
Interests/hobbies: Fishing and dogs
Mushing years: Not enough fingers and toes to count

We love Jerry... who describes his current occupation as 'Grumpy Old Musher', says he doesn't have 'enough fingers and toes to count his mushing years' (guess that's quite a few then!) and describes his mushing experience as 'ran a race once or twice'!
So... to fill in a few gaps... Jerry just happens to be the first ever musher to leave the starting line in the first ever Canadian Challenge, ran his first race at 16 years old, and progressed into mid distance races like the Challenge, and onto racing in the Yukon Quest three times between 2009 and 2014.
