College and amateur

Dunn attended Alta Loma High School where he was a three-year letterwinner in soccer while also captaining the team both his junior and senior years. Dunn was named Mt. Baldy League MVP, and named to First Team All-CIF in his final season at Alta Loma High School.

Dunn played college soccer at NCAA Division I University of California, Irvine where he redshirted his freshman season, but played on the first team from 2003 to 2006. During the 2003, 2004 and 2005 collegiate off seasons, Dunn played for Orange County Blue Star in the USL Premier Development League, helping the team to the Southwest Division title and the National playoff semi finals in 2005.

Dunn instead signed with expansion franchise California Victory in the USL First Division, playing ten games through the rest of the season, but Victory folded and withdrew from the league at the end of the season.

In 2008, Dunn joined Los Angeles-based amateur team Hollywood United, and helped them shock Portland Timbers in the first round of the 2008 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Dunn also spent time training with Chivas USA and playing in three MLS Reserve Division games, scoring one goal.[2]

On August 1, 2008, the Portland Timbers of the USL First Division signed Dunn for the remainder of the season.[3] He was released on December 7, 2009 after spending 2 years with the club.[4]
