John Giura Antique Dealer

[fishbane]

I noticed on John Giura's entry in the wrestling database his profession is listed as "antique dealer."  I thought that was an interesting profession for a World Team member.  Have any other antique dealers represented the US in wrestling on the world stage?  Is he still involved in the antique business?  Does he have a showroom anywhere?

I don't know of any actual showroom.  Most recently he was known for being the executive producer for the film Foxcatcher.

Back in the 1990s when he was the coach at NYU, I believe he was pursuing a master's degree in museum studies.

The only other wrestler I've heard of that was involved in this kind of thing was this guy:
