He climbed through the ranks of New Zealand Formula Ford, took a third-place finish in the 2002 New Zealand Grand Prix, then moved to Australia to win the 2003 Australian Drivers' Championship in Formula 4000. When that category collapsed, he returned home, won the 2004 Lady Wigram Trophy in a Dallara F3, and finished third in the inaugural Toyota Racing Series. A season in Champ Car Atlantics with Newman/Wachs Racing followed, along with a single race as the backup driver for A1 Team New Zealand, before he captured the 2006 Toyota Racing Series title.
