Kind of into watches since I was a young adult. But seriously started to collect more than 5 years ago. My wife tells me I have a problem and I respond with, “ Would you rather I buy a sports car or another motorcycle”? My kids always ask if I’m buying another watch every time we go out. First watch I ever owned was a Fossil. Then I “upgraded” to Guess watches. Mid way through college, I bought nothing but Skagen or Casio watches. Years later, I got more serious and here we are today.

Q: How did you get into watch collecting?
My dad has an Omega from the 1980s and I've wanted to be more of a serious collecter but never had the funds till later in life
Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?
Technically, a Swatch watch when I was 7 years old
Q: What is one piece of advice you have for someone just getting into watches?
Don't buy a watch just because everyone else has or likes it. And buy what you can afford.
Q: What brands have been getting your attention lately?
Not really one brand but German watches in general
Q: What is your grail watch and why?
Vacheron Constantin Fiftysix or Overseas. I just think they are nice looking watches and who wouldn't want a watch from the trinity?
