He began his career as a reserve player for Purefoods and was later traded to San Miguel Beer where he developed into an important role player. His tough defensive and solid rebounding skills helped San Miguel Beer gain multiple championships. He is currently serving as an assistant coach to the San Beda Red Lions (NCAA).
