Garrett Peterson

Coming out of Poway, CA 20 year-old Garrett Peterson has had a passion for the desert since he was only 6 years old. He grew up riding dirtbikes out at Ocotillo and he soon developed a love for trucks and knew that one day he had to build one. So for his 18^th birthday he bought his first truck, and it took off from there. His current truck is a 1993 Ford Ranger, and has plans to race it this 2012 season. As of right now he is unsure of which class he will enter in, due to upgrades on the truck coming soon. Garrett says that the word “Can’t” is not in his vocabulary, and he wants to thank everyone who has helped him get to where he is today…. He believes that he would not have made it this far without them.

You can find Garrett on Dezert Rangers with the username “fishridendrive”.
