David Maloney is a nationally-known appraiser, author, television host, radio-talk show guest, and veteran appraisal course writer and instructor. His reputation is based on 30 years of practical experience, extensive academic and personal study, writing, teaching and lecturing.

David received his Bachelors degree from the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and his Masters from the Naval Postgraduate School. After a career in the Coast Guard, he operated an antiques business for several years prior to founding Frederick Appraisal, Claims & Estate Services in 1982.

He qualified as a Certified Member of the International Society of Appraisers (ISA) in 1995 and as a Certified Member of the Association of Online Appraisers (AOA) in 2001. David is past-President and currently Sec./Treas. for the AOA.

For fourteen years, David authored the biennial Maloney's Antiques & Collectibles Resource Directory, a compilation of over 20,000 resources for over 3,000 categories of antiques and collectibles. Called "the bible" of the industry by U.S. News & World Reports, "Maloney's" was considered a "must have" on every collector's bookshelf.
