Biography

A veteran competitor from the Colorado high country, this Steamboat Springs racer has carved out an impressive career in SCORE desert racing, consistently battling through the brutal terrain of Baja California with his hometown crew. His most notable performance came at the 2018 SCORE Baja 500, where he piloted his Yamaha YZ450F to a solid 7th place finish in the Sportsman Motorcycle class alongside teammates Scott Borden, Cassey O'Donnell, and Josh Scott, completing the grueling 542-mile course in just over 14 hours.

What sets this Colorado desert warrior apart is his ability to assemble competitive all-Steamboat Springs teams, creating a tight-knit racing operation that has proven its mettle against international competition. The 2018 Baja 500 effort saw him finish ahead of several factory-backed Mexican teams and seasoned veterans, demonstrating the effectiveness of his mountain-bred approach to desert racing.

Beyond the Baja 500, he has maintained consistent participation in SCORE events, including multiple Baja 1000 campaigns where he's competed against the world's best desert racers. His dedication to the sport and ability to field competitive efforts from his Colorado base showcases the true spirit of amateur desert racing at its finest.
