Biography

A veteran desert racing competitor from Baja California, this 45-year-old racer has established himself as a formidable force in SCORE International's Class 5-1600 division. His most recent triumph came with a second-place podium finish at the 2023 SCORE Baja 1000, showcasing his continued competitiveness in the world's most grueling desert race after more than a decade of competition.

Racing out of the remote town of Guerrero Negro, he first made his mark on the SCORE circuit with a third-place class finish at the 2017 Baja 1000, demonstrating the consistency and determination that defines successful desert racers. His 2017 podium came alongside co-drivers Carlos Cazares, Abraham Villavicencio, and Baltazar Siqueiros, representing the collaborative spirit essential to conquering Baja's unforgiving terrain.

The Class 5-1600 category, featuring 1600cc VW Baja Bugs, demands exceptional mechanical reliability and driving skill across hundreds of miles of desert punishment. His ability to secure multiple podium finishes in this highly competitive class speaks to both his driving prowess and his team's preparation. With six years between podium appearances, his 2023 second-place finish represents a triumphant return to elite-level competition in SCORE's premier desert racing series.
