He was a finalist in the 1978 ABC Instrumental and Vocal competition. He was a finalist in the 1988 Sydney International Piano Competition and won a special prize for the best performance of an Australian composition.
He was the featured soloist on the Australian Youth Orchestra's and West Australian Symphony Orchestra's tours of China, Hong Kong and Singapore.
He now resides in London and performs and records internationally. With Belinda McFarlane, violin, and Matthew Lee, cello, he is a member of the piano trio fiorini.
