The Prowler Kevin Bruneau
- Home Base: Rhode Island
- Day Job: Antiques Dealer
Kevin Bruneau is on the road hundreds of miles per week seeking out antiques and the next great find, even when he’s away from his fellow MARKET WARRIORS. He has been in the antiques business for more than two decades and is fluent in the world of buying and selling investment-quality antiques and collectibles in both brick-and-mortar shops and the online marketplace. Kevin is the proprietor of Bruneau Antiques specializing in upscale antiques and Asian arts. He says that if he could collect just one thing, he’d like to have “a great collection of articulated Japanese crabs, lobsters, and insects in silver and brass.” You may find Kevin on the road enjoying one of his other hobbies — riding his motorcycle or in one of his vintage cars (his all-time favorite collectible). Kevin lives and works in Rhode Island.
