My precious-metals career began in 2006, and I have overseen more than $1 billion in precious metals purchases and sales. I've stayed in this business for a simple reason: I believe in the thing itself. Metal, properly owned and documented, is one of the few assets that answers to no one. No counterparty, no promise, no fine print. For the right family, at the right weight, that's not speculation, it's ballast.
I've also spent those years listening. Thousands of conversations with educated, careful people, engineers, physicians, business owners, taught me exactly what buyers of physical metals actually need: the numbers in writing, the trade-offs explained before the purchase, and one knowledgeable person who stays with them from first question to eventual sale. That is the gap in this industry, and it is the entire design of Dormy.
So here is what working with us looks like. Every quote is written, itemized, and time-stamped. Our premium ranges are published on this site. Many dealers make you call to learn theirs. Our guides teach you to audit any dealer's quote, including ours. Bullion first, always; specialty coins only if you ask, with the spread disclosed before you buy. And when you call, you are not routed to a high-volume sales floor. Dormy is founder-led by design. The standard is set and enforced by one person, not a script. That is where the value is: not in selling you metal, which anyone can do, but in twenty years of judgment applied to your specific situation, with nothing hidden in the total.
I founded Dormy in 2018 to work exactly this way. Call with your questions, you'll reach a specialist who works to my standard, and when a situation calls for it, you'll reach me.
