About The Collector

About the Collector

I’m a 58-year-old lifelong music nut who’s been flipping records, reading liner notes, and chasing great sound since I was a kid. Music has always been my thing—my escape, my hobby, and honestly, my favourite conversation topic.

I grew up in Ontario, but after moving to Alberta I really leaned into collecting, buying, and selling vinyl in a more serious way. The vinyl scene out here is great, and I love connecting with other collectors who get just as excited about a good pressing, a rare find, or a stack of well-loved albums.

I’m into all kinds of genres—rock, blues, punk, you name it—but heavy metal will always have my heart. I still hit concerts whenever I can, because nothing beats live music blasting you in the chest.

Whether I’m digging through a box of dusty LPs or helping someone find a new home for their collection, I bring the same enthusiasm I’ve had for decades. If you’re a collector, a casual fan, or someone with a pile of records you’re ready to pass on, I’m always happy to chat vinyl.
