Passionate collector & community builder.

“Leaders lead when they connect with their tribes and when they help the tribe connect to itself.”
- Seth Godin
I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have discovered a hobby that not only enhances my own quality of life but also contributes positively to the well-being of others.
Utilizing my extensive background in technology, I've been able to bring our 'float tribe' closer together, reinforcing the bonds within our community.
Thanks to the convenience of social media, connecting with fellow enthusiasts has become effortless. The internet has provided us with a platform to document, conduct research, and showcase our glass floats.
My passion extends well beyond my personal pleasure and into the preservation of rare antiques, particularly glass floats with dwindling numbers – some being the last of their kind. In my view, saving these unique pieces and capturing their history is an important legacy for us to leave behind.
The numbers.

A Passage to a World of Endless Fascination
Glass Float Community
I established and currently manage the most dynamic social media group for our float community - the 'Glass Fishing Floats' Facebook group. It serves as an excellent forum for enthusiasts to come together and share their mutual passion for floats.
Additionally, I actively manage the social media for our prominent annual event - the 'Beachcombers & Glass Float Expo'.
Through my experiences, I've come to appreciate that float collectors form a unique and special community. I often express this sentiment by saying, "Float friends are the best!"

Glass Float Museum
I conceived and constructed a virtual museum dedicated to glass fishing floats, named InspiredCollectors.com.
This web platform was meticulously crafted as a crowd-sourcing tool, empowering individuals to share photos and information about their unique floats.
With a comprehensive collection, the site features detailed information and appraisals for over 1,200 different floats from various corners of the world.

Glass Float Collecting
Engaging in float collecting has been a transformative experience for me.
While the joy of collecting floats is meaningful, what truly enriches my life is the camaraderie and friendships forged within the float collecting community.
The unique blend of passion, friendly competition, and camaraderie among collectors creates a special bond. Collaborating towards common goals has forged a resilient and flourishing community.
As a captivating example, this black pumpkin is truly a unicorn float. I've been informed that the float in this photo is acknowledged as one of the finest black pumpkins ever discovered.
