About

It was 2010. I was working a dead-end job, living in an unsafe apartment building, and using an oven to generate enough heat to fall asleep at night. Funny thing is I hadn't yet hit rock bottom. No, oddly enough that came when I tried to throw a mattress away... without a resident sticker.

​

But as the saying goes, once you hit rock bottom you start on the path to redemption. The jolt for me came from a dump worker who took pity on me that day and gave me a pass. But he also gave me something far more valuable: his wisdom. He told me that I needed to get myself in gear, and most importantly, do something I loved.

​

After some soul-searching I realized what I loved more than anything was collecting, creating, and refurbishing treasures of all sorts. Black Forest cuckoo clocks, Faberge Eggs, Beanie Boos, porcelain dolls, Garbage Pail Kids, Speak n Spells. You name it, I collect it, fix it and build it.

Fast forward to today and I have decided to open my doors to the world. I'm available to consult, build, repair, inspire, and uplift with my Classy Collectibles. My ask of you is simple. Have an open heart and an open mind. Join my community of passionate collectors and together let's KEEP IT CLASSY!
