27 Years At Kartek
I've been in the off road and automotive industry my entire life. I was born into the industry. My father owned and operated a VW shop from 1972-1990. He built and raced Baja’s, buggies and VW drag cars. I work with and consult international off-road race teams for global races such as the Dakar Rally, New Zealand Taupo 1000, Silk Way Rally and the Tatts Finke Desert Race in Australia. My hobbies and interests are my kids and studying American History. I obtained a Bachelor's degree from Cal State San Bernardino in American Studies in 2004.
Over 36 years of working, building, and racing in the off-road industry. I worked for FAT Performance for 18 years before it merged with Rimco Machine. Then as a team manager and crew chief for a championship winning team before starting my own race prep shop that ended 2004.
As a driver I've been a part of many great teams with wins in all the major off-road race's including the Score International Baja 1000 and 500. Currently I am racing short course in a pro buggy.

I come from a desert racing family. I started going to the desert and to races as a young child. I started racing as a co-rider in a stock mini truck in the MDR series when I was 13 years old. I drove my 1st race at 15 and have been hooked ever since. I have an automotive background as well, being a diesel mechanic and a service writer. I was also involved in pit support for desert racing for many years with FAIR and was a board member for a number of years. My main background is Jeeps and desert racing as I ran Jeepspeed in their unlimited class for a few years. I look forward to growing with this sport and working with the amazing people in this sport of Offroad racing.
