Outdoors editor Tim Mowry, 44, has been at the News-Miner since November 1989. He hired on as a sportswriter and moved over to the outdoors beat in 1995. Raised on a dairy farm in Vermont and western New York, he drove to Alaska in May 1986 to take a job as a sportswriter at the Frontiersman newspaper in the Mat-Su Valley shortly after graduating from Ohio University with a bachelor's degree in journalism. A retired dog musher, Mowry completed the Yukon Quest (seven times) and Iditarod (twice) sled dog races before hanging up his harnesses. He now focuses his spare energies on cross-country skiing, gardening, running, hunting, fishing and camping with his family. He lives in Two Rivers with his wife, Kristan, their son, Logan, three pet Labradors and a few retired sled dogs.
