He made his major league debut with the San Diego Padres in 1999, and played in 8 games from 1999 to 2000.

He was signed by the Yokohama BayStars in 2002, and marked 5 wins to become a part of the starting rotation.

He was picked up by the Chunichi Dragons in 2004, and marked a respectable 10–5 record with a 3.76 ERA. He missed most of 2005 after sustaining a shoulder injury, and was demoted to the minors at the beginning of 2006. He was put on waivers in August, and was released shortly afterwards.
