Biography

A veteran competitor who has made his mark in SCORE's premier Trophy Truck division, this Denver-based racer brings decades of desert racing experience to the sport's most challenging events. Racing the iconic Baja 500 in 2018, he piloted his Ford F-150 to a solid 14th place finish in the Trophy Truck class, demonstrating remarkable consistency across the grueling 542-mile course from Ensenada.

At 71 years old, he represents the enduring spirit of desert racing, competing alongside motorsports legends in one of off-road racing's most demanding disciplines. His participation in SCORE's Celebrity Racers program highlights his status among notable figures who have embraced the unique challenges of Baja racing, joining an elite group that includes Hollywood stars, professional athletes, and business leaders who share a passion for desert competition.

His commitment to the sport extends beyond personal achievement, as he's been part of the SCORE community that has helped build the legend of Baja racing. Racing in the unlimited Trophy Truck class places him among the sport's most elite competitors, where only the most skilled drivers can handle the extreme speeds and technical demands of Mexico's unforgiving desert terrain.
