Terry has been an active collector, buyer and seller of antiques, collectibles and decorative arts since the 1970s in this valley. He was co-owner and Operations Director of the Country Antique Fair Mall from 1981 to 1995. He established the Santa Clarita Antique Center in 1996. In 2004, he retired from the retail end of antiques to pursue Antique Appraising. He remains active in the field as a buyer, seller, appraiser and consultant. Terry has been an Adjunct Professor at College of the Canyons since 1991 in an unrelated discipline. In 2007, he was approached by Vice President, Dr. Mitjl Capet and asked to create a Community Extension Series in Antiques Appreciation. He gladly assumed the task and ensured that seminars would be fun, exciting, educational and interactive. He has presented the series into 2008 at COC and a private learning center in Canyon Country. He brings his hands on approach to the Santa Clarita Historical Society with three Saturday seminars, beginning in January 2009.Terry is an Accredited Member of the International Society of Appraisers and Appraisers National Association.
