I've been involved with antique clock restoration since a teenager in the 1970s, spending summers working with an uncle in Clerkenwell London learning horological skills. My father was a trained English cabinetmaker from whom I learned case work. During my undergraduate years and throughout my commercial scientific career, I remained active in the restoration and trading of earlier antique clocks. During my professional life I'd been lucky to have been involved with art history conservation projects with the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Yale Museum of British Art, and other important museums. A member of the National Association of Clock Collectors for over 30 years, I've taken part in numerous technical, historical, an conservation seminars.
I look forward to assisting however I can.
