Building on a foundation of Class 5-1600 excellence, this Granada, California-based desert racing veteran has established himself as one of SCORE's most consistent performers in the iconic Volkswagen Baja Bug category. His recent class victory at the 2023 BFGoodrich SCORE Baja 1000 Presented by K&N marked another milestone in a career defined by persistence and precision through Baja's unforgiving terrain.
The 2023 triumph represented his second Baja 1000 class championship, adding to his impressive 2018 victory in the same category. His mastery of the 1600cc VW platform extends beyond the legendary 1000-mile race, as demonstrated by his 2022 SCORE Baja 500 class championship, proving his ability to excel across SCORE's premier events.
