A long time desert adventurer with roots in Jeeps and motos, Mike is a wanderer of the Owens Valley with ties to the Mammoth area and exploring of Death Valley.

As a solo rider into the vast west, Mike knows what is needed to be out on your own. With a no bullshit style and straight-to-the-point assessments, this successful businessman has helped to engineer two Baja peninsula podium efforts for his race team the Desert Assassins.

In 2017 Mike engineered and navigated every mile of the overall winning vehicle at the Mexican 1000 and co-engineered the plan for the 2^nd place overall Trophy Truck at the 50^th anniversary Baja 1000 that same year. For fun he navigated half the race in the 9^th placing Trophy Truck as well.
