"In the way of numismatics I consider myself a generalist. I like and deal in everything. I do however have a fondness for U.S. quarter dollars. I am also very interested in the area of Mexican Numismatics. I am now focusing on the rare keys of the 20th century. But I am in no way limited to any specific field. I know a lot of folks concentrate on a specific area. Well, I do this for a while and move on to other series, as I believe this gives me a broader numismatic base.

As far as literature is concerned, I am currently assembling an Eliasberg catalogue set although I like to collect any catalogues of important numismatists or dealers of the past. I like Mehl although I don't own any of his catalogues yet.

I also frequent old book stores looking for out of print references. I found some nice books just this past week as well as a large series of Numismatists (incomplete) from as early as 1901-1948. I bought approximately 100 issues. I like any reference of significance in the area of U.S. or Mexican numismatics and related history. I also like to read Dave Bowers.

I'm glad to be on board and look forward to an exciting future in our hobby."
