Born in Chicago, he graduated from Fremont High School in Oakland, then attended Arizona State before the Cubs took him in the seventh round of the first amateur draft in June 1965. After four seasons in the minors, Montreal chose him 43rd in the October 1968 National League expansion draft. His 118 major league hits included 18 doubles, one triple and six home runs. He also played 11 seasons of minor league ball and two in Nippon Professional Baseball.
