A successful record dealer, he served in the Territorial Army before he became involved in promoting Derbyshire's tourism and heritage industries in the early 1990s, which led to his opening of Derby Heritage Centre in 1992 which started of the ghost walk experience. He would throw murder mystery parties and it then went on to more ghost-walks and later Derby Gaol, a reputedly haunted building in Friar Gate, Derby, England.
