Bio
Hometown: Willow, AK
Jaimee Kinzer, 29, grew up in Idaho with a
fairly regular childhood. But amongst the ins and
outs of growing up she always enjoyed mushing. She
graduated from Timberline High School in Boise,
Idaho in 2001. Like many others, she took off to
college in hopes of finding a career. She studied
Digital Media at Full Sail Real World Education in
Winter Park, Florida and then returned to Idaho
where life took a different turn. “I was hit
by a drunk driver and spent the next few years in
and out of Doctor's offices. I took a job at
Albertsons just to help pay the bills. I soon
bought a house and put myself back in school. Yet,
something still was missing, I just wasn’t
happy. That all changed when I received a phone
call from DeeDee Jonrowe in October 2008 offering
me a job. Two weeks later I was on my way to
Willow, Alaska. Ever since then I have been living
my dream and couldn’t be happier.” Jaimee
has spent two summers working with some of
DeeDee’s young dogs on a glacier in Juneau,
Alaska, giving tours; then her winters with DeeDee
helping to train and race the same dogs she saw
being born and worked with on the glacier. ”It
is amazing to see what these dogs can do and watch
them grow up. Several of the dogs I raised and
raced with made DeeDee’s team in 2011 and made
it to the finish line. It makes me proud to be a
part of these dogs’ lives. I have been falling
in love with these amazing animals. I can't wait to
travel to Nome with these same dogs I helped
raise.” She is a member of Advocates Against
Family Violence. She lists her hobbies as hiking,
camping, and photography.
