I started collecting before I knew what the word collecting meant. As a kid I’d run around Thunderbird in Minnesota and that Marriott in St. Louis. The best part for me wasn’t being surrounded by candy or toys(though it was a big bonus) it was the people who were patient even to the 5 year old. Since my Grandmother Chris showed me this world I’ve always been happy to be a part of it and help others were I can.

Today, my collection now fills up a room in our basement and I recycled broken PEZ dispensers among other plastics in my small business Recyclverse.

I strive to be a good handyman, willing to learn anything with guidance and Youtube videos. That mostly helps me at home - a fixer upper - and Ibex, my father’s gym where I am the General Manager.
