Collecting, whether it was trading cards, comic books, or historical memorabilia, has influenced my life since the day that I received my first special Pokémon card. (It was, of course, an Ancient Mew).

That love of collectibles and history has translated to my current goals of continuing my education and eventually writing books about the topics that interest me. Hopefully, along the way, you might also find yourself interested in these topics and whatever else I might find along the way.
