Motto:Like father, like son.
Xavier Simmons is a passionate historian with a deep love for antique maps. Holding a Ph.D. in History, he has dedicated much of his life to uncovering the stories behind ancient cartography. Xavier's fascination isn't just academic; it extends into his personal life as an enthusiastic collector of rare maps. In 2022, inspired by his dual interests and spurred by the lack of resources on the psychology behind collecting, Xavier penned "Charting the Mind: The Psychology Behind Collecting Rare Maps." This book delves into the intriguing mental processes that drive collectors, offering insights into this often misunderstood hobby from both a historical and psychological perspective. From his home in Portland, Oregon, Xavier continues to explore the depths of this unique intersection between history and human behavior, sharing his discoveries with fellow enthusiasts around the globe.
