Chad Lindner, the 30 year old son of veteran musher Sonny Lindner, earned ROTY honors finishing 30th in the 2009 Iditarod. Chad reported that this was a one-time only gig for him. Chad was born in Fairbanks, but went outside to attend Reed College in Portland for political science degreee and to his father’s native state of Michigan for law school. His senior thesis at Reed College was entitled, “The Success of the Cuban American National Foundation in Lobbying for U.S. Foreign Policy: Interest Group Model or Interest Group Anomaly?” Perhaps during his 12 days, four hours and 22 minutes along the trail he had further time to analyze the question.
Chad will soon be shopping at Bloomingdale's instead of Big Ray's and trading in his Carhartts for Brooks Brothers when he begins life as a big city lawyer in Boston. It his rumored that his area of legal specialty will be transportation.
