His computer training  and association with numerous dealers, auction companies, brokers, insurance carriers and automotive manufacturers around the world, permit him to track the market place for most all of the desirable vehicles that have been manufactured. He has tracked appreciation & depreciation trends, and has forecasted market directions for a number of exotic type vehicles.  Max's outlook on the exotic car market has been publicized by several magazines & he was one of Sports-Car Market's Top 40 Under 40 "Top Key Players in the Automotive Industry under 40 years old" in October 2017.
