Numismatic Trader
I am a proud LSU graduate with a B.A. in History and have spent more than 25 years with Blanchard helping clients discover the enduring value of rare coins and precious metals. My work as a numismatic trader has allowed me to connect history, artistry, and investment in a way that few other fields can.
I have a special appreciation for original, CAC-approved early U.S. coins. Finding an untouched half dime or dime with true originality and character is something remarkable. Each piece represents a small but meaningful chapter in America’s story and reflects the craftsmanship of its time.
Alan Greenspan’s words have always resonated with me: “In the absence of the Gold Standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation.” That belief continues to guide my approach in helping clients build secure, diversified portfolios through tangible assets.
When I am not working with clients, I enjoy playing golf and spending time with my golden retriever.
