He grew up in Chicago Heights, Illinois and played basketball for Mount Carmel High School, where he was named a Parade Magazine All American, and Marquette University, playing for legendary Marquette coach Al McGuire, named 2nd team All American.

Since retiring as a player, he has served in various volunteer and professional capacities related to prep, collegiate and professional basketball, including: Assistant Coach under Rick Majerus at Marquette University, a Regional Collegiate Scout for the New York Knicks, Assistant Coach for the LaCrosse Bobcats of the Continental League, and Assistant Coach at the NBA Pre-Draft.
