I began the REP program in 1997 in AA and made my way through bantam and midget as a regular starter. I was called up by the Reds for midget AAA where I played every game of the season and playoffs. I have spent most of my career in the infield until 2003 when I was sent out to hold down the center field position to close off the remainder of the year. Throughout my 5 year stint with the Reds I batted in the number two spot and posted up no less than a .350 average and stayed within the top 3 spots for homeruns and stolen bases. During my AAA and AA career as a co-captain of the Reds I led them to the provincial playoffs each year. After completing my final year of midget AAA I made my way to BC and was selected by the Mavericks in 2004.
