What would you like to tell us about yourself, your collecting, or business.

I have a huge NASCAR autograph diecast collection set up in my basement at home, all of which my father and I obtained personally. I also work with Brandon Mysinger and am an independent dealer. My small business grew out of my love of NASCAR and the art of obtaining autographs.

What is your level of expertise?

Advanced Collector

What are your areas of interest?

Sports

Why do you collect?

I collect because by now it is a part of my life. I began collecting autographs at a very young age, and after getting into NASCAR with my dad, the autograph adventure took off! Within a year or so "just collecting" wasn't enough and I made a small business out of my hobby by the time I was a Junior in high school. I still run that business today and will be graduating college in the summer with a Marketing Degree. I hope to someday make it into the NASCAR industry either working with the drivers, or directly working on NASCAR-related marketing.

What is your favorite autograph in your collection?

My favorite autograph in my collection would have to be my Ron Paul autographed "Hope for America" rally sign. This was my first political rally, and Ron Paul was the first politician I truly believed in. It was just such a huge moment when I got to meet him...the autographed sign is a great way to remember the memory.

You can ask anyone living or dead for their autograph. Who would it be?

Thomas Jefferson, because he was a man of innovation and ideals.
