Biography

Representing the international contingent with pride, this Canadian desert racing veteran has established himself as a formidable competitor in SCORE's grueling Class 5-1600 division. Based in West Vancouver, British Columbia, he brings a determined international perspective to Baja's unforgiving terrain behind the wheel of his Volkswagen-powered machine.

His commitment to the sport extends beyond individual achievement, regularly assembling competitive Canadian crews for the legendary Baja 1000. Racing alongside fellow countrymen including Grant Baylis, Brennon Quesnell, Russell Sinclair, Todd Katanchuck, and Geoff Peterson, he demonstrates the collaborative spirit that defines successful desert racing campaigns. These partnerships showcase the strong Canadian presence in SCORE International competition.

The technical demands of Class 5-1600 racing, with its strict 1600cc VW engine regulations, require both mechanical precision and driving finesse - qualities this veteran has honed through years of Baja competition. His international perspective adds valuable diversity to the SCORE racing community, representing the global appeal of desert racing.

As one of the notable international competitors highlighted in SCORE's official documentation, he continues building Canada's reputation in desert racing while pursuing personal excellence in one of motorsport's most challenging environments.
