Andrew then went on to win his first state championship, the Victorian State Motocross Championship, in 2006. I have since had multiple successes in events throughout Australia and New Zealand, including further state motocross championships in both Victoria and the Northern Territory. I began Rally Racing internationally in 2018 at the Hellas Rally in Greece and have competed in 3 x Dakar Rally's the Africa Eco Race and raced the 2023 FIM Baja World Cup series finishing 2nd overall in the Vets class and 6th overall in the 450cc Class. For 2026 I am looking to head back and race the 7 rounds of the FIM Baja World Cup series and then back to Dakar Rally 2027

My overseas success at the FIM Baja World Cup and at Dakar Rally has provided me with a great following not only internationally but also within Australia. I am able to provide my sponsors with extensive exposure at all levels and open new doors and contacts in untapped markets throughout the world. My social media channels have a great following, and I also provide my sponsors and supporting organization's with free talks and bike displays and events. When not racing or training I am always available to meet sponsorship obligations and promote my brands.
