Year-by-Year:

1997: Signed by the Storm on 6/11 after an impressive workout that saw him clear the length of the field on all but two kicks from the goal line...Had a tryout with Iowa one week before being signed by the Storm...Hit four-of-four extra points and missed two field goals---both from longer than 45 yards---in his debut vs. New Jersey (6/14)...In second game against New York (6/21) hit two field goals and three extra points...Was one-for-five on field goal attempts at Orlando (6/27), but all of his attempts were from 45 yards or longer...The one he made, a 47-yarder in the second quarter, was a career-best....Suffered a pulled hamstring before the Storm's win over Texas (7/5) but still managed to convert two of three field goals and four of four extra points...Hit two more field goals against Anaheim (7/12) and added four extra points...Again had two field goals in the loss to Iowa (7/19)...Made six of seven extra points against Florida (7/26)...Had his best game of the season at San Jose (8/2), making all seven PATs and going one-for-one on field goals...Ended the season having hit 10 of 20 field goal attempts for a 50 percent mark, the best in Storm history...Has considerable length on kickoffs and regularly drills the ball to the rebound nets...Made all seven PATs and a 17-yard field goal in the Storm's win at Nashville (8/10)...Made four of five extra ponts and all four field goal attempts, including an overtime 30-yarder in the semifinal loss at Arizona (8/16).

1998: Hit five of six PATs and missed his sole field goal attempt at San Jose (5/1)...Waived on May 5 to make room for Bjorn Nittmo...Signed by the Houston ThunderBears prior to Week Six.

Career Highlights: Kicked at Arizona from 1988-91...Attended the Toronto Argonauts (CFL) training camp in 1996 and the Amsterdam Admirals' (World League) camp in 1997...Was waived from the Admirals due to the World League's required use of seven non-American players on each team---each team uses a European as their kicker.
