Bruce Metzger, Founder
Bruce was active as an antiques dealer, auctioneer, group shop owner/manager, and show producer all at the same time, by the late 1980s. He eventually settled on show management as his calling. By the time he approached retirement, he was producing or managing as many as 11 events each year, both privately and for various non-profits.
Bruce is equally happy in the woods, at a good craft brewery, or in his small backyard apiary.
