Raus attended Stamford High School and St. Luke's School in New Canaan, Connecticut, played club soccer for the Beachside Premiere club team, [1] and played college soccer at Seton Hall University, where he was a teammate of US national team standout Sacha Kljestan. He was named to BIG EAST Academic All-Star Team as a freshman in 2003.
After spending a brief period trailing with Major League Soccer side New York Red Bulls, Raus turned professional when he signed with Polish second-tier club ŁKS Łomża in 2007. While at Łomża, Raus scored two goals in 21 appearances in all competitions, but left at the end of the season. [2]

Raus never played a game for the Rowdies, and moved to Real Maryland Monarchs in the USL Second Division later in the season.
