Biography

Racing from the adventure sports capital of Queenstown, New Zealand, this skilled desert racer has carved out an impressive international career in SCORE off-road competition. His breakthrough achievement came at the 2017 SCORE Baja 1000, where he secured a hard-fought third place podium finish in Class 3000, demonstrating his ability to compete at the highest levels of desert racing against seasoned veterans.

Competing in the demanding Class 3000 category, which features short wheelbase open-wheel cars powered by 2.2/2.4-liter Ecotec engines, he has proven his mettle in one of SCORE's most competitive divisions. The 2017 Baja 1000 performance stands as a testament to his driving skill and tactical racing approach, successfully navigating the grueling 1,134-mile course through Baja California's unforgiving terrain.

His international perspective brings a unique element to SCORE racing, representing New Zealand's growing presence in North American desert racing. The combination of technical driving ability and endurance racing expertise has established him as a respected competitor in the Class 3000 field. His commitment to crossing continents to compete in SCORE's premier events demonstrates the dedication required to succeed in professional desert racing's most challenging arena.
