I have lived in Connecticut all of my life. My wife Amy and I have raised our three children in Wethersfield.

Antiques have been a big part of my life and I have always been passionate about history. I have traced my lineage back to 1635 in the American colonies and even further back in England.

As a volunteer for the local historical society, I coordinated a run of antiques shows to raise funds for operating expenses and for an acquisition fund and have volunteered as an appraiser at numerous events.

Away from my regular job, I have been an antiques dealer for the last twenty-five years, having exhibited at shows throughout New England.
