I have had an interest in and collected antiques for many years, becoming a dealer I don’t recall how long ago. I sell what I like, like what I sell, and I endeavor to research each piece and to share that information and my enthusiasm for every item.
My personal collection is eclectic, with objects ranging from the 18th to the 20th century. It includes furniture, textiles, paintings, advertising, folk art and, as suggested by my picture, American clocks.
A little about my background. Life has been interesting, to say the least.
My primary role in life is as a pediatrician with a specialty in pediatric obesity. For quite a few years now I have been part of the EMPOWER Program which is the multidisciplinary weight management program at Boston Children’s Hospital.
My roots are humble. I was born in NYC. I lived in a public housing project in Rockaway, Queens before moving to The Bronx.
I am a graduate of the Bronx High School of Science, Cornell University, and The Albert Einstein College of Medicine where I was elected to Alpha Omega Alpha. I completed residency and fellowship at Yale.
I am very thrilled and honored to be included in this year’s NHADA Show!
