The national high school player in the country in 1993, Livingston's college and professional careers were marked by a series of injuries that hampered his play.

[1] After high school, Livingston attended Louisiana State University but only appeared in 32 games over two seasons because of knee problems.

He was on the roster for the 2003-04 EA Sports Midwest All-Stars, as well as the Los Angeles Clippers during the 2003-04 NBA season, and was with the Utah Jazz in 2004–05.

The following season, as the Stampede were crowned the competition's winners after beating the Austin Toros 2–1, Livingston retired from professional basketball.

[6] In 2018, Livingston returned to his alma mater Isidore Newman School and coached the 7th and 8th grade boys basketball team.

The next season, Livingston was chosen to replace retiring Jimmy Tillette as head coach of Newman's varsity boys basketball team.

[9] In 2023, following a recruitment violation, Livingston was suspended by the LHSAA from coaching for a calendar year, and Newman was stripped of their state championships in 2022 and 2023.
