Orca sled dog team

"Bonjour" from Québec! The Orca Sled Dog Team is the dream, passion and story of me, Hans, and my dogs. I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome in 2002 when I was in 7th grade. Since then, life has been a roller coaster!… hopefully, I’ll get to explain more on that in the future. I grew up near Montreal, Québec, in a great family. But, when I turned 18, I knew I wanted to live on my own; to be a “normal” adult and live life the best way I could. I got into cooking, became a rock-climbing instructor, then a canoeing instructor… though, one constant in my life, all this time, has been dog sledding. In 2009, I got my first job at a dog sledding company near Québec City. Since then I have worked most winters as a dog sled musher or guide. It’s truly a passion, and my dream is to share with you my love for this lifestyle. Ten years later, in 2019, I made a decision.I would commit the upcoming years of my life to my dogs. Every new decision I make now must work towards bettering the living conditions of my dogs and making them as happy as they make me. I have two main goals: 1) Share with you my love and respect for dog sledding and work dogs 2) Achieve a long-distance dog racing career, and within the next 15 years I aim to finish in the top 15 of both the Iditarod and Yukon Quest races.
