Team BIO's

Marc Springer
Hell bent for Baja and bringing a whopping 50 years of life experience! My friends call me "Springer" and I work for Harley Davidson of Seattle in Lynnwood, WA.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! There's magic in Baja that you have to experience first hand in order to understand. The opportunity to compete in the longest point-to-point, non-stop race on the planet at this stage in my life is…it's just beyond words.I hope you'll follow our amazing adventure and enjoy the ride as much as we do! Thank you for your support!

Dean Agee
Hi, my name is Dean Agee. My friends call me “Deano.” Influenced by my family, I learned to love riding dirt bikes at an early age and eventually turned my passion into my career and never looked back. I’m a factory-trained mechanic and I’ve worked on everything with two wheels and an engine that you could imagine…and I love every minute of it!

One rainy, winter day in Seattle, Springer walked up to me (we work together) and said, “Hey, how’d you like to race the Baja 1000 this November?” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing and I knew right away that I had to be a part of this incredible opportunity. Since then, my family has definitely felt the excitement around the house as I begin this amazing journey. We’ve watched “Dust to Glory” countless times! My son is hugely excited watching me prepare for this amazing adventure! I look forward to using my mechanical skills to get our bikes in tip-top shape and ready for this absolutely grueling contest between man, machine, and Mother Nature!

Many thanks to all our sponsors and my family, teammates, and friends for their support in turning this massive undertaking into a reality! See you in the dust!!!!

Daniel Jerrett
My name is Daniel Jerrett…I'm better known as "Danno." I just graduated Kamiak High School in Mukilteo, Washington…Class of 2007! Yep, that makes me 19!

As a reward upon graduating, my step Dad ("Springer") planned a motorcycle trip up to Alaska and all through Canada. However, I managed to break some bones in my foot a couple weeks before we were supposed to leave! As it turns out, by the time I had healed it was too cold to head north so guess which direction we pointed our bikes…yep, south - toward Baja! Upon crossing the border and riding all over Baja, the amazing beauty of the place and people really changed my life! And, my trip to Baja just so happened to coincide with the 40th Score Baja 1000! Imagine?!

I started riding motorcycles when I was about 12 and I've also played completive ice hockey on "Select Teams" from the age of 5 through 18; so I learned the value of contributing to a strong, positive team attitude at a very early age. As a result, I was elected Team Captain for the last year of my hockey career! Very cool!

Nothing can compete with the power of a positive, team-oriented attitude! Through my various life experiences I've come to realize that my true passion resides with motorcycles. My recent Baja experience and watching the race take place right before my eyes caused me to immediately set my sights on participating in this amazing contest of man, machine, and Mother Nature…and now here I am!

I feel very fortunate at my age to be part of this team. I know what a huge opportunity this is and that this team will be successful. I look forward to all the hard work that lies ahead and crossing that finish line in November!

Thank you for your support and remember to reach for your dreams - they're closer than you could imagine!
