Biography
After a three-year stint with the Adelaide 36ers where he was captain, joins the New Zealand Breakers as a 245-game veteran and championship winner with plenty to offer as a versatile guard.
Having grown up in Brisbane and attending Genesis Christian College, spent a year at the Australian Institute of Sport in 2010 before three college seasons at Metro State University in Denver.
It's been a fascinating NBL career since beginning at the Cairns Taipans for the 2016/17 season and spent a lot of that time playing as a standout rebounding forward despite being undersized at 6'2.
Joined Melbourne United and ended up starting point guard in the championship winning team of 2021 with 10.2 points, 5.1 assists and 5.0 rebounds.
Was a hot free agent signing on the back of that and signed a three-year deal with the 36ers but it never quite worked out without a finals appearance, and with his best of those seasons being in NBL23 for 7.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists.
Has played strong basketball in the off seasons including being a key player in the NBL1 North at the Northside Wizards in 2021 and 2022, then leading the West Adelaide Bearcats to a 2023 NBL1 Central championship, and then a season in the NZ NBL at the Taranaki Airs ahead of joining the Breakers.
