EXPERIENCE

I am a fourth-generation gem and jewelry professional with experience as an independent appraiser, review appraiser, gemologist, pawnbroker, jewelry buyer, consultant, conference presenter, and expert witness.  I own and operate an NAJA Accredited and AGA Certified Gemological Laboratory, adhering to recognized professional standards in gemological evaluation.  In addition to providing valuation services for private clients and industry professionals, I regularly appraise jewelry and watches seized by federal law enforcement agencies, including the U.S. Secret Service (USSS), Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG).  Recognized as an expert in my field, I have provided testimony in multiple courts of law.
