Hey! I'm Derek, owner of Swans Emporium, where I specialize in all things Pokemon and video games. I've been hooked on both since I was a kid, and in 2013 I started flipping finds on the side for fun. Fast-forward to 2022, and this passion became my full-time gig!

These days, I'm usually tracking down cards or games for fellow collectors, fans, and nostalgia-lovers. I believe getting your hands on a long-lost collectible is the best kind of thrill, and I love sharing that experience with all of you.

Outside the treasure hunt, I enjoy staying active and spending quality time with friends and family, including my partner, Chelan, and our two dogs, Ollie and Mila.
