Individually he won the bronze medal in the 100 metres at the 1985 African Championships[1] and competed in the 60 and 200 metres at the 1985 World Indoor Championships without reaching the final.

In the 4 x 100 metres relay he competed at the 1988 Summer Olympics without reaching the final,[2] won a gold medal at the 1985 African Championships, and also finished seventh with the African team at the 1985 World Cup.

His personal best 100 m time was 10.14 seconds, achieved in April 1988 in Waco. He also recorded 10.13 seconds in May 1987 in Ames, but with unknown wind assistance.[3]

And he was my first college friend and roommate (along with an ally of my wife Lisa Thompson) at the University of Missouri-Columbia in 1991.
