My love Of Baja began in 1995 as a part of Team Honda Pit program. Started as a grunt and through the guidance of my Pit Captains & Johnny Campbell I worked to my up to Pit Captain & #1 service pit for Team Honda and Part of our Dominating 1x reign for over 20 years and to this day I am still involved with the team in the HRC Rally team program. As a former racer myself I've captured a National Hare & Hound title as well as a Dist 37 title back in the day. My skills have led me to part of the Monster Energy Honda Motorcycles " Rip 2 Cabo" the last several years as Chase, Mechanic and any thing that needs to be taken care of & even Winning Superior Chase award on the 2019 R2C. My Baja experience has led me to help other tour company's and Teams winning efforts throughout the years. I'm SUPER EXCITED to be joining HDA Rally Services for Sonora Rally and bringing my High level of expertise and dedication to this event to serve you the Racer!

I started racing at age 15, moved to bigger MX tracks a little later, and switched to more offroad a few years later. Racing became my passion and I was fortunate to become successful in it. By the time I was done, I had won 10 Oregon state championships, raced the Baja 1000 and raced the Silver State Series in Nevada. Probably my best racing accomplishment came in 2011 racing the OMRA Endurance Series in the Ironman class, where I won the 6 hour, 12 hour and 24 hour races.

These days, I enjoy just riding. Being involved with High Desert Adventures allows me to ride a lot, allows me to help others ride, just as I was helped, and best of all, it allows be to hang out with like-minded-motorcycle enthusiasts, which has been the best part of my lifelong love of this sport!
