I’ve been collecting since I was 5, starting with 1990-91 Upper Deck NHL. From there I started collecting Mariners, namely A-Rod and Griffey until I was 15. I came back into collecting for good in 2016 by putting together an Alex Rodriguez 90’s PC where The Essential Credentials Podcast was formed with my friend Greg aka TimSalmonCollector.

Once Covid hit, I sold my entire A-Rod collection to collect Marc-Andre Fleury, making my dreams come true in the process by him seeing the collection and me getting hired at Upper Deck as a Product Manager, where I am today!
