On eBay since December 27, 1997, I specialize in Second World War German documents and paper items. I have collected more than 25 years and have authored the foremost references on collecting German identity documents. A Collector Guide to WWII German Wehrpasses and Soldbuchs and Military Identity Documents of the Third Reich have been out of print since the late 1980. Wehrpass has been out of print several years. German Military Award Documents 1939-1945 and Signatures of the Third Reich all remain available as collector references. Professionally, I was asked to testify about the authenticity of the Trawniki ID during the Demjanjuk War Crimes Trial in Israel and have consulted on Third Reich documents used in the HBO film, Max and Helen. I have been a speaker for the New Jersey Holocaust Resource Center at their annual Holocaust educator conference and was asked to accompany a group from the New Jersey Holocaust Resource Center and New Jersey's Governor on a trip to Poland and Israel.
I have been able to build nice collections by travelling extensively in Germany and Poland since 1985. Through speaking German, I maintain a European collector / dealer network. All items offered on eBay are personally purchased in Europe. I have been a PowerSeller on eBay off and on over the years.

I have many varied interests, many of which revolve around motorized toys. My newest toy is a slightly tweaked 2008 Cadillac CTS 3.6 DI. I have ridden motorcycles since I was 11 years old, but am currently on a break from riding. My most recent motorcycles were a 2001 Kawasaki (thus KZ fan) ZX6R sport bike and a 2002 Harley Davidson V-Rod. If it is sunny, most likely you will find me on the water! When not collecting historical items, I collect Hard Rock Cafe pins. I am a Miami Dolphins fan and collect game used jerseys. I collect everything from the former WNBA basketball team, Miami Sol, and never missed one of their games. The Sol players were the best!!! The team and the players inspired me to start a regular work out program, so that is another hobby for me. I "pump iron" at least 5 hours a week!
Life is always exciting when one has many interests!
