In 2010, he became the first person to win an NCAA championship (2001), an ANBL championship (2009) and a NZNBL championship (2010).
Horvath attended Mounds View High School in Arden Hills, Minnesota where he led the Mustangs to state tournament appearances in 1998 and 1999, where they captured the 1999 AA State Championship. Horvath was also named the 1999 Minnesota Mr. Basketball.
Horvath played college basketball at Duke University from 1999 to 2004, where he was a part of the 2000–01 NCAA championship team.
Horvath's first season out of college was spent with the West Sydney Razorbacks during the 2004–05 NBL season.

On November 26, 2005, he made his return from injury, recording nine points and five rebounds in a loss to the Wollongong Hawks. However, in the Razorbacks' next game on December 2, he sustained a season-ending toe injury. After recovering from the injury, he moved to New Zealand and joined the Wellington Saints for the 2006 New Zealand NBL season.
