Second on the teams in scoring and first in rebouding also placing him 10th in the league in the same category (7.5rpg).

2009-10: Signed with Kansas City Stars of the ABA and was playing great basketball until another lack of funding with yet another ABA team caused the organization to fold during the course of the regular season. Second on the team in scoring and first in rebounding when the team went under.
2008-09: Finished his career at Central Missouri. Was the most productive player on the floor per minutes played. Was used in a defensive roll and lead the team in blocked shots and was 2nd on the team in FG%. Was a very important piece of their team and eventually helped the team to a 30-5 season record and qualified them to the NCAA II Final Four.

A very talented
PF with a natural knack for scoring around the basket.
Creates a mismatch as he can move to the SF for stretches and also
is strong enough to bang inside at the center spot for minutes. Is
very athletic runs the floor like a guard often beating his
opponent down court for easy dunks. Posses good range on his jumper
and can draw bigger players off the block with his ability to
drain the outside shot. Can put the ball on the floor and
drive by most post players once he gets them off the block.
An excellent shot blocker because of his great timing and
super long reach. Always finds himself in good defensive
position to challenge people going to the basket. A good rebounder
reflected in his consistent numbers and grabs most of his
rebounds through his athletic
ability. A good team guy and is always encouraging his teammates.
