I am a professional collector of things. Recently, I moved to Hoboken, New Jersey, and when the moving crew arrived and saw the boxes upon boxes stacked neatly in the driveway they genuinely thought they were relocating a family of five. Most of these boxes were comprised of the hundreds of sneakers I have collected over the years, now meticulously stacked in drop-front containers in my apartment (which could be mistaken for a Foot Locker). I particularly enjoy acquiring a product that is limited in nature and/or unavailable to the public — which is the case for a lot of the sneakers in my collection.
Beyond sneakers, I also have a keen passion for tech, fashion and watches. Every product I own holds sentimental value and has a specific story tied to it. Perhaps this is why I tend to horde, making it damn near impossible to move. Guess I’ll be staying in Hoboken for the foreseeable future.
TCL 49-Inch Class 4K Roku Smart TV
I fell in love with Roku’s user-friendly OS and sleek remote within just a few minutes of using it. It packs a 4K display and smart TV capabilities into an extremely affordable package — certainly one of the best bang-for-your-buck deals on the market.
