Born in 2002, Seth Quintero grew up in San Marcos, California, where his family spent their recreational time off-roading in the desert. He first rode a quad bike at the age of just four yers old.

Quintero, with his family as his team, started racing UTVs at the age of 10 in 2012, with the plan being to take things slowly, but, as he admits: “We’re super-competitive, and I wanted to do more and more. Things escalated pretty quickly.”
