Biography
Has been a remarkable story as someone who turned his enormous athletic potential into becoming one of the best Australian basketballers through his hard work as he prepares for a fifth season with the Brisbane Bullets.
The now 33-year-old superstar guard grew up in the Victorian town of Warrnambool before spending four years at college starting with two years at Cochise College and then the next two seasons at the University of Wyoming.
His first NBL opportunity would come as a development player at the Cairns Taipans in 2014/15 where he showed flashes of what he was going to be capable of with his explosive athleticism.
Earned his first full contract the next season at the Adelaide 36ers and that's where he confirmed himself a genuine star in the league. He was named both the NBL's Most Improved Player and to the All-Second Team in 2017.
Was a key member of Adelaide's run to the 2018 Grand Final before joining the Brisbane Bullets in 2019/20 where he has remained ever since, now being a veteran of 233 NBL games.
On top of that, has been a regular Australian Boomers member including being part of the bronze medal winning team in Tokyo and now enters NBL24 on the back of an inspirational performance leading the Ipswich Force to a first ever NBL1 North championship as Grand Final MVP.
