Board Members

Mike has had the pleasure of having Siberian Huskies in his life for about the past 21 years. He enjoys taking them sledding and helping them participate in demo events. His professional career is in the information technology industry. He serves on our Board as President, with most of his responsibilities focusing on the business operations. He and his wife have attempted fostering several Siberians over the years and have maintained a perfect foster failure rate thus far, making them a very lucky family, even if they aren't the best fosters.

Mary Beth has been a volunteer and foster home with AAHI since 1999 and has had over 500 foster dogs come through her home in that time. Some have stayed. She serves on our Board as Foster Coordinator. She works as an account manager to support her Siberian addiction which includes dog sledding, camping and general shenanigans with her gang.

Sarah has owned northern breed dogs since 1995 and has been with AAHI since 2008, when she adopted the first of her sassy, quirky Siberians.
