Biography

Building on a proven track record of elite-level performance, this San Ysidro veteran delivered breakthrough results in 2023 with podium finishes at both premier SCORE desert racing events. His second-place class finish at the legendary Baja 1000 demonstrated the culmination of years of dedication to mastering the world's most challenging desert race, while his third-place class performance at the historic Baja 500 showcased consistent top-tier competitiveness across the grueling SCORE championship series.

The 53-year-old racer's journey through SCORE competition spans over a decade, including notable campaigns in the ultra-competitive Trophy Truck division. His experience racing the punishing 1,134-mile Ensenada to La Paz course in 2017 exemplifies his commitment to taking on desert racing's ultimate challenges. That campaign, part of a field featuring 404 entries from 44 U.S. states and 28 countries, highlighted his dedication to competing at the sport's highest international level.

Operating from the border region that serves as the gateway to Baja's legendary racing terrain, he brings intimate knowledge of the desert's demanding conditions. His recent podium achievements represent not just personal milestones, but validation of his persistent pursuit of excellence in a sport where mechanical failures and unforgiving terrain claim the majority of competitors before the checkered flag.
