Biography

A veteran of Baja's brutal terrain, this Pleasanton-based desert racer brings decades of experience to the Pro Moto 50 class, where seasoned competitors battle both the unforgiving landscape and Father Time. His 2017 SCORE Baja 1000 performance exemplifies the grit required to conquer one of motorsport's most demanding challenges, finishing 83rd overall aboard his Husqvarna in the grueling 30-hour-plus endurance test that claimed nearly half the field.

Competing in the Pro Moto 50 division places him among an elite group of riders who've maintained their competitive edge well into their fifth decade, proving that experience and determination often triumph over raw speed in Baja's treacherous conditions. The 2017 Baja 1000's punishing course from Ensenada to La Paz tested every aspect of desert racing skill, from technical rock sections to high-speed straightaways, where mechanical reliability and rider endurance become equally critical.

His commitment to SCORE competition represents the true spirit of Baja racing, where ordinary enthusiasts transform into desert warriors, pushing themselves and their machines through some of the world's most challenging terrain. Each race finish in the Pro Moto 50 class stands as a testament to the dedication required to compete at motorsport's highest level of desert racing.
