Q: What is the best part of your job?
Frank: "Getting to know people all over the country who share a passion for vintage American items and the culture and history they represent."
Q: What was your most memorable project you’ve undertaken for yourself or work?
Frank: "Restoring my vintage motorcycle collection, which includes some highly prized Harleys and Indians."
Q: What are the first steps someone should take if they think they’ve found something valuable at a garage sale or junkyard?
Frank: "Onsite don’t get too excited. If the price does not seem fair, be prepared to walk away. After purchase, do your homework and get it appraised before you do anything impulsive."
