| Introduction | Dzseff came to Hungary with the Peace Corps in 1990 (his parents made him do it) after graduating from Oberlin College (BA English and Political Science). Later he received a Rotary Scholarship to attend the Central European University in Budapest, and earned an MA in Cultural History. After 3 years of working on law reform in ngo sector, he decided he'd rather run a business, and founded First European Shipping. The company would become Central Europe's leader in commercial art shipping when he sold it to Austromar GmbH in 2005. He holds Hungarian state appraisers licenses in Antique Furniture and Oriental Carpets, and works as an art agent with Taylor Art Advisors. Central European University admitted him in 2004 to do his Phd. in Cultural History. His dissertation will be on the development of the Hungarian art market in the 19th Century. Of all his activities, though, he concedes that enjoys the tour guiding the most....except for playing quarterback and tightend for the Budapest Black Knights football team in the MAFL, and center for the Józsefváros (District VIII) Basketball Team in the Hungarian 2nd Division. |
