Biography

Building an impressive legacy in SCORE desert racing, this Cabo San Lucas competitor has established himself as a formidable force in the demanding world of Baja competition. His versatility across multiple racing disciplines showcases the depth of his off-road expertise, having campaigned successfully in both the Pro UTV FI and Class 5 categories.

In the highly competitive Pro UTV FI division, he has demonstrated remarkable consistency and determination. His 2017 Baja 1000 campaign, where he piloted a Can-Am Maverick X3 alongside co-drivers Gabriel Romo, Manual Caranza, Emilio Estrada, and Henri Palos, resulted in a hard-fought 20th place finish out of 25 starters in one of desert racing's most challenging classes. This achievement came in a race where only 20 teams managed to complete the grueling 1,134-mile course, highlighting the significance of his successful finish.

His racing portfolio also includes experience in the traditional Class 5 category, where he has competed alongside respected drivers like Leopoldo Perez, Oscar Aguayo, Federico Lopez, and Cesar Vela in Crumco-Chevy machinery. This cross-discipline experience demonstrates his adaptability and commitment to mastering different aspects of SCORE competition, from high-tech UTV racing to classic Baja Bug competition.
