Biography

At 61 years old, this Beaumont, California veteran continues to embody the true spirit of SCORE desert racing that has defined the sport for decades. Having witnessed and participated in the evolution of off-road racing through multiple eras, he represents the enduring passion that drives competitors to tackle Baja's most challenging terrain year after year.

His racing career spans the golden age of SCORE competition, where he's experienced firsthand the legendary battles that have shaped desert racing history. From the grueling Peninsula runs to the technical challenges of loop courses, he's navigated every type of terrain Baja California has to offer. His dedication to the sport reflects the same values that SCORE founder Sal Fish envisioned - that desert racing is open to everyone with the courage and determination to compete.

Racing in an era alongside legends like Walker Evans and the McMillin family dynasty, he's been part of the fabric that makes SCORE racing special. His longevity in the sport demonstrates not just skill behind the wheel, but the deep-rooted passion for Baja that keeps racers returning to Mexico's deserts. Whether battling through silt beds or navigating rocky technical sections, he continues to prove that age is just a number when heart and experience combine on the racecourse.
