Two of the three gold medals came representing England at the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in the 10 metres air pistol pair and 50 metres free pistol pair.[4][5] Four years later he won a third gold in the 10 metres air pistol pair. All three golds were won while partnering Mick Gault.
