Dexter Kancer, 30, was born in New Hampshire. Before
                                   moving to Alaska in 2001 with the goal of running the
                                   Iditarod, he was living in Colorado and working as a
                                   carpenter. “I got my first dog in 1996 and hooked up
                                   three dogs. I haven’t stopped since. I love the dogs and
                                   the time I’ve spent with them in the wilderness.” He
                                   competed in a couple of mid-distance races before
                                   moving to Alaska. Dexter is currently working in Nenana
                                   as a carpenter. He is married to Kerrie Williams. He
                                   lists his hobbies as biking and dogs
