My journey into the world of art and antiques began in the early 90s when I attended an auction in Kentucky. It was there that I first encountered a Chippendale walnut slant-top desk that left a lasting impression on me. At the time, it was far beyond my reach, but I was captivated by its vernacular form, craftsmanship, and overall presence — an experience that stayed with me and helped shape my appreciation for fine objects. While attending graduate school, I began to deal in early artisan made Kentucky coin silver and related decorative arts, deepening my understanding of local regional tastes within the broader market.

Over time, my knowledge and tastes have continued to evolve. Today, my interests span a wide range of objects dating from the mid-to-late 18th century through modern-day. Always with a keen curating eye for quality, form, and condition. I have developed an affinity for many styles and periods, while striving to bring together a thoughtfully selected collection that reflects both aesthetic beauty and cultural significance.
