In 1995, he signed his first contract with Olympia Larissas. He played there for three seasons, one in the semi-professional Greek National B League, and two in the professional Greek 2nd Division. He was the leading scorer and leading rebounder in the Greek 2nd Division in both seasons, and the MVP of the Greek 2nd Division in the last season. He was also a member of the under age 21 national team of Greece at that time.
