The CONVERSE TEAM

The Converse team is made up trusted friends with professional know how. Todd hand-picked his team for their expertise and compatibility, making for a friendly welcoming environment.  

M. Todd Converse Owner & CEO

Todd grew up on the Philadelphia Main Line, surrounded by fine antiques and trained by his father in the craft of antique clock repair. He went to Conestoga High School, majored in Philosophy at the University of Pittsburgh, and has made his home back in the Philadelphia area. Todd’s innovative business sense led him be an early adopter of internet marketing for the antiques business and keeps him on the forefront of current tech trends. That, combined with his respectful treatment of his team, his customers, and his consignors makes Converse Auctions a pleasure to do business with. He’s hoping that one day his son Grey will join the family business.

Lisa Gagliardi
Manager & Social Media Expert

Todd and Lisa have been friends since Conestoga High School days. Lisa lived in New York and Hong Kong and had a thriving business in Social Media Marketing. When Todd heard she had moved back to the area, he contacted her to provide Social Media expertise for Converse Auctions. The excitement of being surrounded by beautiful and unique things, as well as wanting to help Todd grow his business, convinced Lisa to join the team.

Debra freelanced for Todd’s family’s antique business as a photographer, stylist, graphic designer, and writer. She continues to be a valued team member in Converse Auctions.
