Vegas Coin Dealer / VCD Auctions 

President & Chief Numismatist

My journey in numismatics began at age 8, sparked by a family tradition spanning three generations. With a unique background combining studies in Music at Berklee College and Mathematics at CRI, I've developed both creative and analytical approaches to problem-solving—skills that have proved invaluable in both business and coin collecting.

My expertise in numismatics has been shaped by expert mentors and enriched by my experience as a bond derivatives market maker, giving me a distinctive perspective on coins as both historical artifacts and investment vehicles. Rather than chasing market trends, I take a value-oriented approach to collecting, focusing on pieces with genuine historical significance and investment potential.

As the founder of Vegas Coin Dealer and VCD Auctions, I consider myself first and foremost a collector who sells coins. My extensive network of professional and personal relationships provides exceptional access to rare coins and ingots, allowing me to carefully curate my collection while offering select pieces to other enthusiasts.

What truly drives me is the story behind each coin—a tangible connection to history that offers glimpses into the lives of those who came before us. Every piece tells a unique tale, making numismatics not just a profession, but a passion that continues to bring me joy every day.
