Building his reputation as one of SCORE's most versatile desert racers, this Barstow-based competitor has established himself across multiple disciplines in off-road racing. His breakthrough performance came during the legendary 2017 SCORE Baja 1000, where he secured a remarkable third-place overall finish in the Pro Moto Unlimited class as part of the 3x team alongside Ray Dal Soglio, Arik Swain, Bryce Oxley, and Travis Frohlich. Racing aboard a Honda CRF450X, the team completed the grueling 1,000-mile course in 23:02:10, averaging 49.24 mph through Baja's punishing terrain.
The 32-year-old racer later transitioned to four-wheel competition, where he continued his winning ways with standout performances in 2021. He earned a coveted second-place class finish at the SCORE Baja 1000, followed by a third-place class podium at the SCORE Baja 500, cementing his status as an elite-level competitor capable of mastering both motorcycle and vehicle categories.
His ability to adapt between disciplines while maintaining championship-caliber performance demonstrates the versatility and skill that defines the sport's top competitors, making him a respected figure in the SCORE desert racing community.
