Biography

A veteran of SCORE's most challenging desert races, this 64-year-old competitor from Laguna Niguel has built a reputation as one of the sport's most dedicated ironman motorcycle racers. Competing in the prestigious Pro Moto Ironman class aboard his Honda CRF450X, he tackles the grueling solo challenges that define desert racing's ultimate test of endurance and skill.

His racing resume includes multiple entries in the legendary SCORE Baja 1000, where he's lined up against some of the sport's most accomplished riders in the demanding ironman division. The Pro Moto Ironman class represents the pinnacle of desert racing dedication, requiring riders to complete the entire 1,000-mile Baja Peninsula course without the benefit of teammates or relief riders.

Beyond the Baja 1000, he's been a consistent presence across SCORE's championship series, demonstrating the longevity and passion that defines true desert racing warriors. His commitment to the sport at age 64 exemplifies the spirit of SCORE racing, where determination and experience often triumph over youth. Racing out of Southern California's desert racing heartland, he continues to pursue his passion for off-road competition while inspiring fellow racers with his unwavering dedication to one of motorsports' most demanding disciplines.
