How and when did you start collecting?

I started collecting at the age of 10, I collected lots of things like bones, cast irons, coins. It wasn’t until later that I finally started to collect the things I love the most growing up. I now collect toys, fossils, comics, and movie props.

What do you collect? Does your collection have a theme, such as Star Wars, Batman, etc.?

Most of all my collections are screen used movie props and costumes, animation cells, comics like Hellboy, Marvel, and Batman, and fossils from the Mesozoic and the Pliocene period.

What makes your collection unique?

My collections are mostly one of a kind items. For movie props just to name a few,  I have a screen used Ripped Hulk Shirt from The Incredible Hulk TV series used by Lou Ferrigno, a Gorilla Rifle from Beneath the Planet of the Apes, a Worm Guy from MIB2 created by Rick Baker, and a Headless Horseman’s Sword from Sleepy Hollow used by Christopher Walken and Ray Park.

What are your favorite or the most prized pieces in your collection?

It’s a tough question to pick one prized in my collection, so far there are three pieces that I prized the most in my collection. I have a screen used Plutonium from Back to the Future that was used on screen from Christopher Lloyd for the Delorean Time Machine, then I have a Screen Used T-Rex Tooth from Jurassic Park that was part of the T-Rex puppet in the film, and finally my third prized pice is an actual Tyrannosaurus Rex Tooth that was dug out from South Dakota.

What items are on your wish-list?

I wish I had a Hulk statue or figure to match my Lou Ferrigno Hulk Shirt So that way everyone knows what it is and why it’s so incredible!
