Career
He qualified for the PDC World Championship on two occasions – reaching the last 32 in 2004.
He achieved his first major success in June 2007 by winning the Thailf Open (a non-ranked PDC event) and a €2,400 cheque. He defeated former World Champion John Part on his way to the final where he beat Gary Welding for the trophy.
