I’ve collected and dealt in antiques for over twenty-five years (making my first sale at the age of eight). I went to Middlebury College where I studied history with an interest in American material culture. After considering a career in law and working in the field for several years, I found my favorite time of the week was attending previews at the auction house down the block. In 2011, I decided to pursue my lifelong passion for the material past under the “Old as Adam” moniker.

In 2012, I opened my first store in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, which New Hampshire Magazine named to their “Best of N.H.” list. I closed my Portsmouth location in 2019 and moved to Providence, Rhode Island, opening my new store at 125 Benefit Street on College Hill in February 2020.

I am an exhibitor at antique shows throughout the Northeast, including the New Hampshire Antiques Show, Antiques at Rhinebeck, and others. I also run several shows of my own, including Nameless Art + Design, Found Object Show, and Threadbare Show.

My work has been featured in The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Magazine Antiques, Antiques & The Arts Weekly, and Maine Antiques Digest.

An unrepentant collector, I have eclectic taste, but always look for great folk art and antique games.
