His father Skip, originally from the United States , played as a professional basketball player in France in the late 1970s and 1980s, where he met his future wife Sylvaine, who also played basketball.

In the following years he gained playing experience in the French second division, with Hyères-Toulon he became second division champion in 2016 and was then on the field for the team in the country's top division. His achievements there earned him a contract with Limoges CSP in 2017 , where, as in his previous positions, he attracted attention as an accurate distance shooter.
