Matthew

Musher/Repair man
This big bearded man is a jack of all trades. Matt has been mushing with us for 5 years and is basically one with the dogs as he will frequently be caught chatting it up with the fur balls just like he would you or I. Matt is a mechanic by trade but his love for hunting, fishing and anything outdoors is where his heart truly lies. He is the gentle giant here at our kennel and we are very lucky to have him in our pack.
