He grew up in Woodend, approximately 60 km north of Melbourne, and played junior football for the Woodend Junior Football Club and the Hampton Rovers Football Club. He left Woodend to take up a scholarship at Hailebury College. In 1999, he was captain of the Sandringham Dragons who also won the premiership. He was awarded the medal for the best player on the ground in the grand final. He was originally drafted by the Kangaroos from Sandringham in the TAC Cup with selection 6 in the 2000 AFL Draft but only played 11 league games for them in three years. At the end of the 2003 season he was delisted and Fremantle rookie listed him with the 26th selection in the 2004 AFL draft. He played ten games for Fremantle in the next two years after being elevated to the senior list when Ryley Dunn fractured his collarbone midway through the 2004 season.
