He began his off-road career in cross-country events in Service Corps of Retired Executives International events, including the premier event: the Baja 500. His first sample of racing was in 1969, when he drove a Rambler American for the American Motors and actor James Garner sponsored team to a third-place finish in the Baja 500.
His first purpose built race truck was Ford F-100 donated by Marion Beaver at Parker Motor Company and built by Bill Stroppe. He added the Mickey Thompson Entertainment Group Stadium Series events to his schedule to enhance his horizons.
The series featured indoor races inside a stadium.
He became familiar with fellow competitor Brendan Gaughan during his SODA days. He moved to CORR when most of the SODA drivers switched series. He finished with his SODA career with three overall victories and 31 class wins.
Around 1999 he began entering rock crawling events after a promotional trip to Moab.
He has 142 total victories and 21 championship titles in off-road desert and short course racing. He has multiple overall wins in the Baja 500, Baja 1000, Fireworks 250, Mint 400, and Parker 400.
