Biography
Is now a veteran of the NBL as he comes into a second season with the New Zealand Breakers with over 150 games under his belt following his college career at Saint Mary's University.
Has become a strong and reliable centre in the NBL across a 155-game career that started at the Sydney Kings learning under Andrew Bogut and then with four seasons at the South East Melbourne Phoenix.
Grew up in Melbourne and after graduating from Melbourne Grammar School, continued the Australian legacy of attending St Mary's in California.
Between 2013 and 2017 with the Gaels, played 126 games and finished up ranked fifth all-time in blocks with 112.
Upon graduating, joined the Sydney Kings for the 2017/18 NBL season and played 50 games over the next two seasons before joining the Phoenix for 2019/20.
Was a key player on the team in that first season averaging 8.1 points and 8.7 rebounds in over 26 minutes a game but his NBL21 never got started with a back injury.
Struggled with injury the next two seasons before a strong 2023 NBL1 South season at the Sandringham Sabres with 13.2 points and 12.8 rebounds a game ahead of joining the Breakers in NBL24.
Now comes into NBL25 back with New Zealand after being a key part of Sandringham's NBL1 South finals push with 7.1 points and 10.2 rebounds on 67 per cent field goal shooting.
