Biography

Building on a decade of elite SCORE desert racing competition, this Imperial Valley veteran has established himself as one of the most consistent Class 1 competitors in the sport's most demanding events. His racing resume showcases remarkable longevity at the highest levels of desert racing, with multiple podium finishes spanning six years of competition.

The highlight of his career came during the legendary 2017 SCORE Baja 1000 peninsula run from Ensenada to La Paz, where he captured third place in Class 1 despite facing significant mechanical challenges. Racing solo in the grueling 1,134-mile event, he overcame transmission and brake problems to secure his first-ever peninsula finish. "This was my first time trying this peninsula run and it feels great to finish it," he reflected after crossing the finish line.

His podium success continued with back-to-back third-place finishes at the SCORE Baja 500 in both 2017 and 2023, demonstrating his ability to compete at championship levels across multiple seasons. These achievements in SCORE's most prestigious events have cemented his reputation as a formidable competitor who consistently delivers under pressure.

Racing primarily in Class 1's unlimited open-wheel category, he represents the dedication and skill that defines elite desert racing competition.
