He was traded to the Calgary Roughnecks in November 2009. Earlier, playing junior A lacrosse for the Port Coquitlam Saints, he was named league most valuable player and an all-star in 2003 and 2004, and he was taken first overall in the 2005 Western Lacrosse Association draft by the Langley Thunder, with whom he won the league championship for the first time in franchise history on August 27, 2011.
