In 2000, he turned professional with the Lowell Lock Monsters of the AHL. 2001–02 saw him moving between the AHL and the ECHL. Between 2002 and 2006, he attended Acadia University, where he played 3 seasons (in 2002–03, he sat out the mandatory season after turning professional). Since college, he has bounced between various leagues, spending more time in the ECHL and AHL, and 2 seasons in Europe, one in Germany playing for the Schwenninger Wild Wings of the 2.
