During National Service, for which he was Grade 3 as a rrsult of a motor accident in his teens, he was posted to the Royal Signals at Catterick Garrison, rose to the rank of Sergeant, and ran the Garrison Theatre.

His interest and love of clocks led him to becoming a Member of the Society of Horologists. He became a well-known Antique Clock Dealer in London and at one time had several Thomas Tompion timepieces in his own collection.
