Biography:
Started going to Baja before i can remember - camping, surfing, races.
My first ride to Mikes Sky Ranch was on a QA50.
Did my first Hilltoppers (i think that's what it was) GP race in Baja around the age of 8.
Tried to ride the length of the original 3 Sisters at the age of 8. Failed. Finished the distance in dads 4wd van.
Finished my first Baja 1000 at the age of 16, a 2 person team, i rode half, YZ490.
Have done 23 B.500's & 23 B.1000's, with a combined total of just 5 DNFs and finishes as high as 2nd OA in both.
Have raced Factory Team bikes for Kawasaki, BMW, and Honda (2nd OA bike @ '07 B1k & 2nd OA bike @ '08 B1k).
Have competed in countless other long distance and short Baja events.
My wife races too, she's a damn good rider (raced class 21 @ '07 B.500 & C.20 all girl team @'08 B1k) and our son is becoming an excellent rider.
I spend about 160 days a year in Baja, riding about 135 of those days.
