About

My introduction to numismatics began at a young age, inspired by my grandfather’s passion for antiques and rare coins. Those early experiences created an interest in history and coin collecting, which was significantly reignited when I started working for David Lawrence Rare Coins.
I started the @coinmismatic Instagram page 2019 on a mission to connect with collectors and grow the hobby, and now this website is an extension of that vision.
With over a decade in the industry, I’ve had the opportunity to take more than 500,000 coin images and was the first individual, outside of its creators, to work with and create NuTilt images. My expertise extends beyond photography, as I’ve also contributed content, graphic design and marketing work for some of the most respected names in the numismatic world, including PCGS, DLRC, the D.L. Hansen Collection, CAC Grading, Coin World, CDN Publications, ANA, APMD, PNG, Coin World and more. My work has been featured in numerous publications and events throughout the industry.
In addition to professional accomplishments, I authored From Pocket Change To Treasure: A Beginner’s Guide To Coin Collecting and I'm currently developing a more advanced collector’s book focused on the U.S. classic commemorative coin series.
My passion for the hobby stems from a belief that coins are more than just collectibles with a price tag—they're historical treasures with stories. I am dedicated to growing the numismatic community, making the hobby accessible to new collectors, and preserving its rich history.
Coming from a military background, I’ve had the privilege of living in various places, including California, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Florida, New York, Indiana, and even Iceland. No matter where life takes me, my dedication to coins and their history remains steadfast. I currently live in Virginia Beach, VA, with my family.
