Born in Blenheim, Pedersen is the step-brother of rugby player Kade Poki and was educated at Marlborough Boys' College, where he was a regular try-scorer in the first XV. He played his early senior rugby with Marlborough Red Devils.[2]

Pedersen, a three-quarter, was a NZ Colts representative and appeared once off the bench for the Crusaders in the 2003 Super 12 season, getting more game time after moving to the Highlanders.[3] He toured Fiji with NZ Maori in 2005, then from 2006 to 2010 played his rugby in Italy, with Rugby Viadana, Overmach Parma and Gran Ducato Parma.[2]

Relocating to Newcastle, Australia, Pedersen played and coached Waratah, before stepping away in 2015.[4]
