After his freshman year, he transferred to Kentucky Wesleyan.[3] He averaged 12 points and 4 assists during the 2003-2004 season but was redshirted the following season as KWC was given a one-year postseason tournament ban by the Great Lakes Valley Conference.

He returned to KFÍ for 2011–12 season and was instrumental in leading the team to a league best 17–1 record and promotion back to the Úrvalsdeild karla.
