Stands tall at 6'10 and is strongly built, and has an unmissable big beard, and arrives in Cairns for his first time playing in Australia ready to be a strong physical presence for the Taipans in NBL25.

After growing up in Spokane, Washington, started his college career at Eastern Washington University which included a standout 2020/21 season as a sophomore where he delivered 17.2 points and 8.0 rebounds on shooting 56 per cent from the field.

That saw him named Big Sky Player of the Year and Tournament MVP in 2021 before he transferred to Oklahoma University for the next two years playing with the Sooners.

Across 66 games where he started in them all, he averaged 10.9 points and 6.5 rebounds while shooting an overall 52 per cent.

That led into the start of his professional career in the 2023/24 season starting in Poland where he played 21 matches with Anwil Włocławek. He then transferred to Germany for 17 games with SC Rasta Vechta and also had a five-game stint in China with the Xinjiang Flying Tigers.

After that eventful start to life as a pro, brings his big frame and recognisable beard with him to Cairns for NBL25.
