He was a finance and procurement officer for the London Fire Brigade. His obituary can be found on the BBC News website.

He died, aged 34 years, on 7 July 2005 in the underground tunnel of the Circle Line on the London Underground Railway between Liverpool Street and Aldgate underground stations that was targeted by a suicide bomber. The narrative verdict of his death can be found on the Coroner's Inquest Report.
