His professional journey took him overseas, where he played for Austria’s SKN St. Pölten during the 2013-2014 season, later joining Germany’s Basketball Bundesliga league with the Giessen 46ers in 2015. He continued his career in Germany by signing with SG-Luetzel Koblenz in 2016. Although he entered the 2013 NBA draft, he was not selected by an NBA team.
