Robert Forto began mushing in 1994 and became interested in long distance racing shortly thereafter, and plans to compete in the Iditarod in 2013. Robert’s present occupation is owner of Denver Dog Works and professional dog musher, public speaker, radio show host and business coach.

Robert says, “I have had many successes and disappointments in the past 15+ years but one element has remained consistent, I have always tried to do my best with what I have and have always enjoyed the special bond I have had with my dogs. It has been a privilege to share this wonderful life journey with my dogs, my team mates, my family and my friends.”

Robert is currently penning a book profiling his work with dogs from a balanced approach and updates his blog almost daily.
