FRANKLYWNOW - Alan Stevens

Alan Stevens, 25, was born and raised in Sugarland, Texas. He moved to Colorado in 2008, where he attended college and worked as a bike mechanic. He received a B.S. in Engineering in 2012, and worked at the Colorado School of Mines doing research in waste water bioremediation. He moved to Juneau in 2013, where he was first introduced to sled dogs. Working for Alaska Icefield Expeditions, ”I was immediately enamored with dog mushing and sled dogs.” Later that year he began working for Martin Buser, where he began training and racing with his incredible dogs. Alan says, “The Iditarod has been a long time dream of achieving, reaching the pinnacle of the sport. I can’t wait to compete in ‘The Last Great Race’.” He says he knew from the very first time on a dog sled that he wanted to become involved with the Iditarod and pursue it to its ultimate level. Alan enjoys mountaineering, cycling and reading.
