Biography

A veteran of SCORE's most challenging desert races, this 54-year-old Phoenix native has built an impressive career spanning multiple decades of Baja competition. His expertise behind the wheel has earned him coveted wins at two of desert racing's most prestigious events - capturing overall victory in Class 1 at the 2012 SCORE Baja 500 alongside co-driver Luke McMillin, and following that triumph with another Class 1 overall win at the 2011 SCORE Baja 1000, also partnered with McMillin.

His racing resume extends beyond these marquee victories, with additional podium finishes in the grueling 1600 class at the Baja 500 in 2011. The demanding nature of these races, covering hundreds of miles through Baja California's unforgiving terrain, makes each victory a testament to both driving skill and mechanical preparation.

Most recently, he competed in SCORE Trophy Truck competition, co-driving with racing legends Rob MacCachren and Jason Voss in the 2017 Baja 1000, demonstrating his versatility across different vehicle classes. His consistent presence in SCORE's premier events over multiple seasons has established him as a respected competitor in the desert racing community, where experience and reliability often prove as valuable as raw speed.
