Hell bent for Baja and bringing a whopping 50 years of life experience! My friends call me "Springer" and I have worked in the motorcycle industry for the last three years. .I've been riding motorcycles since I was just a kid. The lure of the Baja 1000 has echoed in my mind ever since I heard my childhood heroes were racing it; Steve McQueen, Malcolm Smith, and the likes. Well it's my turn now and I am stoked to be part of the 2008 Baja 1000!!!

In November 2007, I traveled to Baja from Seattle on my BMW R1150GS with my son. I was floored by the beauty of Baja and also witnessed the running of the 40th Anniversary of the Baja 1000! What a rush! I was hooked right then and there - Baja captivated me!
