He competed on the ATP Tour and Challenger Series circuits. He made a total of six main draw appearances at ATP Tour level, across 1990 and 1991. His best result came as a wildcard at the 1990 Prudential-Bache Securities Classic, beating David Engel in the 1st round, then receiving a walkover against Aaron Krickstein to advance to the quarters, where he lost to David Pate.[4] In doubles he made the semi-finals once, at the 1990 Riklis Classic in Tel Aviv, with Gilad Bloom.[5] Other doubles partners on the ATP Tour included Todd Martin and MaliVai Washington. It was with Washington that he made his only Grand Slam appearance, the men's doubles at the 1990 US Open.[6] He won the Thessaloniki Challenger tournament in 1990 and played in the singles draw at the 1991 Lipton International Players Championships, a top tier event now known as the Miami Masters.[7]
