Barnabas has not carved ice since 2004, when he last participated in the Fairbanks Open with his older sister, Aurora.  That changes this year.

He is a maintenance worker, driver, assistant to senior citizens, hunter, shooting enthusiast, and outdoorsman of Anchor Point, Alaska. He lives in view of a 10,197 ft. volcano (Mt. Redoubt) which blew its top off the very month he was born. Scientists believe this to be a coincidence.
