I began my career in coins on July 7th 1997 with a National Mint Dealer.
After roughly 5 years I started to realized some of the tricks of the trade that were being used against the clients that I didn’t agree with.
Over the next 5 years I worked with a different National Mint Dealer and while I was with this company we were one of the original driving forces for certifying new issue Modern American coinage. A trend that still continues to this day, and will be beneficial for generations to come.
There were still tricks of the trade that were being used so once again I found myself looking for a better way.
For the next 12 years, I worked with another National Mint Dealer. I was given the freedom to recommend all forms of Precious Metals based on each individual client’s personal goals.
On July 7th 2023, exactly 25 years to the day, of working inside of the National Mint Dealers, I decided it was time for a new route.
Together with one of my best friends for over 30 years, we opened North American Coin Exchange to bring a new level of transparency into this industry.

Compared to my esteemed colleague, I am relatively new to the sales side of the industry. After spending just shy of 30 years in the land surveying profession, I was looking for the challenge and excitement of my second career. I began personally investing in my late 30’s and studying the industry as a whole. As a conservative investor, a history enthusiast, and a firm believer in tangible assets, I found the fit I was looking for in precious metals investing.
I began my journey, as many more than likely do, as a novice collector and skeptical investor, diversifying a relatively small percentage of my portfolio into precious metals to get a feel for the market and test the rate of return. After seeing the proof firsthand, I only have one regret; that I didn’t begin sooner!
We are in a period in history where the world’s economy is tremendously confusing, mismanaged and manipulated, frankly. With the uncertainty and instability of many of the older traditional investment plans, revolving around Wall Street, stocks, bonds, and a handful of big banks, I have found great success and substantial benefits to protecting my money, by putting rapidly depreciating paper currency into physical form such as precious metals. Not only do they serve as a tremendous investment strategy as a commodity from the bullion aspect, but the collection of rare pieces of treasure and works of art, from any time period or country, is exciting and stimulates the history study that I love so much, from the numismatic perspective. Coins are markers of history and time of humanity’s existence, and being able to own a piece of history and hold it in your hand is a truly unique experience. You would be surprised at the level of diversity and stability you can apply to your personalized portfolio when combining bullion, semi-numismatics, and classic rarities.
The personalized service and insider’s knowledge our newly formed company is focused on is genuinely unique. I am looking forward to many years of blazing a new trail in this profitable and stable industry, and sharing that same experience and prosperity with all of our new clients. I am also excited about forming lasting relationships with all the investors that I serve while collaborating in building a rock solid precious metals inventory, that is the cornerstone of a portfolio that offers protection for today, and promise for tomorrow. Allow us the opportunity to earn your business and trust and take advantage of this investment strategy that far too many people overlook. Hold your wealth with confidence and ensure that it is safe and tangible for yourself and your family.
