Collectibles run in my blood—my grandfather was an antique auctioneer, my father a financial advisor. This heritage gives me something most advisors lack: the strategic mindset of a finance professional paired with the instinct of someone raised in auction houses. I'm not just someone who learned collectibles; I've lived them my entire life.
I've spent over 100,000 hours deep in collectible markets—15+ years actively buying, selling, and studying rare pieces across every major category. I've mastered high-stakes negotiation on million-dollar deals, skills that directly translate to securing rare collectibles at significantly below-market rates. My clients have saved over $15M through my strategic sourcing and negotiation expertise.
My connections span the highest echelons of the collectibles world. I maintain direct relationships with principal specialists at Sotheby's, Christie's, and Heritage Auctions. I have established partnerships with PSA, BGS, JSA, NGC, and PCGS certification services. I work regularly with the top 1% of private dealers, authentication experts, and institutional collectors. These aren't cold contacts—they're trusted relationships built over a decade and a half of consistent, quality transactions.
I've successfully executed multi-million dollar acquisitions across fine art, rare sports cards, precious coins, luxury watches, vintage automobiles, and fine wine & whiskey. My clients include family offices, private equity funds, publicly traded companies, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals across the globe. What sets me apart: I don't just broker deals—I architect complete collecting strategies backed by exhaustive research, flawless authentication, and relationships you can't access on your own.
