Building on a remarkable desert racing career that includes four SCORE Baja 1000 victories and three Baja 500 triumphs, this Carlsbad veteran continues to showcase his elite-level competitiveness in the world's most grueling off-road events. His crowning achievement came in 2020 when he conquered the legendary Baja 1000 peninsula race as Pro UTV Forced Induction class champion, demonstrating the tactical precision and mechanical expertise that defines championship-caliber desert racing.

The following year proved his consistency at the highest level, securing a hard-fought third-place podium finish in the 2021 Baja 1000, once again validating his status among the sport's elite competitors. His proven track record extends well beyond these recent successes, with SCORE magazine archives documenting his place among the sport's most accomplished multi-class winners.

His ability to navigate the unforgiving Baja Peninsula terrain while maintaining championship-winning pace makes him a formidable competitor in any class he enters, continuing to add to an already impressive legacy in professional desert racing.
