TL - When did your passion for collecting start?<br />
My passion for collecting started when I was about nine years old. My<br />
family was going through some very hard times and I realized I had a<br />
knack for buying and reselling items I would find at garage sales.<br />
TL - How did you spot the items that had value?<br />
I was always uniquely interested in history because it was and still is<br />
cool! That knowledge base and my keen eye is what helped me find the<br />
valuable items.<br />
TL - How did your collecting shape your life and where you are today?<br />
I had a very stable job in the tech industry, but was still collecting and<br />
reselling as a hobby. It was my dream to open an antique store when I<br />
retired. My wife is so supportive of my dreams and she asked me why<br />
should I wait till then? I agreed and decided to take the leap and follow<br />
my heart. It’s been four years now and we couldn’t be more happy with<br />
how things have turned out.<br />
