Where you’re from:
East Greenwich, Rhode Island

The first watch that moved you:
Rolex Datejust 16233 (two-tone)—the quintessential icon of success.

Why:
I first saw a Datejust when I was 14, busing tables at my first job. To me, that watch symbolized status, achievement, and a future where I wouldn’t have to clean up after strangers. Little did I know, it was also the gateway to my watch obsession.

Day-to-day:
I decided to turn my casual hobby into a full-blown career. As a watch specialist, I spend my days helping clients find their perfect timepieces, and build lasting relationships.

Grail:
Patek Philippe World Time 5130P. It’s elegant, timeless, and a touch out of budget with the wedding coming up, so of course, I want it.

The world should know:
If I won the lottery, I’d still work at EWC (yes, seriously), but I’d also open a maker’s space/studio. I have always been interested in architecture, design, and artwork all of which naturally translate to the vast world of horology. When I wasn't at work designing building enclosures, I'd be researching watches, collecting, and making watch straps. I decided recently to follow my passion and couldn't be happier with the choice I have made!
