Meet the Founder
From California roots to Music City culture — collector, dad, and the person building Nashville's premier card and collectibles show from the ground up.
Founder — Collectors Circuit
The Story
Like so many of you, my obsession with Pokémon started as a teenager. And like far too many of us, I have that one painful memory we all try to block out — the day my brothers and I sold our vintage binder, packed with First Edition everything, for a measly $100 at a garage sale. It's a collection I try not to think about.
But the universe has a way of bringing you back to what you love. In 2023, I got pulled back into the hobby when I bought my first adult PSA 10 — the breathtaking Bubble Mew ex from Paldean Fates. Holding that slab, the spark was completely reignited. It unlocked a passion unlike anything I'd experienced before.
"Collecting hasn't just been a hobby for me — it has become integral to my life. Collectors Circuit is my leap of faith out of the corporate world and into a pure passion project."
I didn't start this to get rich. I started this to build a sustainable life where I can properly take care of my family while doing what I love alongside this community every single day. Nashville has an incredible collector base — but the community deserves more consistency and a higher quality experience.
That's exactly what Collectors Circuit is here to deliver.

What We're Building
As close as I can get to the vendors, the closer my dream is to being complete. Stable internet, better layouts, seamless logistics. When vendors prosper, the hobby prospers.
This isn't a one-time pop-up. Collectors Circuit is a recurring movement. The long-term dream is a permanent physical venue right here in Nashville where we can all gather year-round.
I want to spread the joy of collecting to our youth — giving kids a safe, exciting environment to trade, learn value, and fall in love with the hobby just like we did.
