Biography

Having previously spent two seasons in the NBL as a Next Star with the Illawarra Hawks, now returns as a fully fledged roster member ready to make his mark as a sharpshooter with the New Zealand Breakers.

The Colorado native grew up in Longmont before starting his college career in 2016 at Boise State University. Over four seasons, he averaged 12.3 points and shot the three ball at 40.8 per cent including a senior year in 2019/20 of 16.0 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists.

From there, he was drafted to the NBA by the Golden State Warriors with selection No. 51 and then joined the NBL Next Stars program in 2020/21, and took no time settling in at the Illawarra Hawks. 

Had a strong impact at the Hawks too as part of a team that reached the playoffs with his shooting touch making him a lethal threat. He would score 13.2 points a game, before playing with the Warriors in the 2021 Summer League.

Would return to Illawarra for a second season and while his numbers were similar with 13.3 points and 3.9 rebounds a game, he had significantly improved his all-round game, while still being a standout shooter.

Again played Summer League with the Warriors in 2022, before joining Spanish club Basket Zaragoza in 2022/23, and now has returned to the NBL to play with the Breakers.
