He began his professional career with the independent Reno Silver Sox before signing with the Phillies. He was an Eastern League All-Star in 1990. He made his MLB debut in Philadelphia on June 7, 1992, against the St. Louis Cardinals, at Veterans Stadium.[1] Philadelphia traded him to Seattle for Kevin Foster on June 12, 1993.

His major league career ended at age 27.[2] He was claimed by the Los Angeles Dodgers that August.[3]
