Victor played with Laaz Rockit from 1983-1989. He was replaced by Dave Chavarri, who would later join Pro-Pain and Ill Niño.

Victor rejoined the fold again during a 2005-2006 reunion, helping the pioneering San Francisco thrash band record four albums and two concert videos before leaving for a career in medicine.

A youthful Metallica was once one of Laaz Rockit’s supporting acts, and the seminal group returned the favor with a 2011 opening slot at Metallica's 30th anniversary concert at the Fillmore.

Bay Area metal scene veteran Walter Morgan of Deadly Embrace Productions states about Victor:

"In our early 20s, Victor was the drummer of Laaz Rockit, a band who pioneered speed metal that we now call thrash metal. One of the first drummers to make double-bass drumming style common in metal. (...) Victor was kind always quick to help, and that's the hard part of [this] loss: a great human being was taken from all of us. With all these attributes, I was never surprised by his decision to leave music, to help people and become a doctor, and a very good doctor, I may add."

Victor is survived by seven children and his wife.
