From when he was 15, digging up relics at the Bull Run Battlefield in Virginia and selling them to collectors, he has been passionate about history and how the everyday items in people’s homes have value — both in memories and money. Combining his technologist, economist, collectibles expert, and dealer background, Seippel has turned his attention to the Internet of Things. He is a frequent expert guest in the media on valuations and authentications and has been featured on NBC, Fox Business, and Forbes.
When not busy educating the public about their stuff, he supports several nonprofits, including the Make-a-Wish Foundation and Gary’s House. In his spare time, he creates textile art and finds treasures. His most recent find was from the Long Beach Flea Market, where he came across a bounty of treasure colonial ledgers from 18th-century New Jersey.
