Upon finishing up a 5th year of college, he signs with Florida Everblades that should have him see some good action from the get-go, but unfortunately only played 1 ECHL game before being released, quickly picked up by Savannah Ghost Pirates for a look and has 1 assist in 4 games.

He would score a college best 4 goals and 7 assists through 22 games and he takes that to signing a 1st pro contract with Roanoke Rail Yard Dawgs of the SPHL for his rookie season, 2024/2025.
After almost point-per-game numbers last season, he’s an easy re-sign to be a Rail Dawgs for 2025/2026, but he did get loaned up to Adirondack Thunder for a good 20 games and could easily occur again.
