ROMAN SHARF - BIO

Roman Sharf History

Roman was born on 5/9/75 in the Soviet Union. In 1988, at the age of 13 Roman became a refugee when his father decided to leave the failed Soviet Union and chase the American Dream. With brief stops in both Austria and Italy, Roman and his family settled down in a 400 sq./ft. apartment in Brooklyn New York. 

His first job was delivering newspapers. As he transitioned from a teenager to young adult Roman held various jobs from dishwasher to construction worker, to bagel truck driver, but due to his love for his country, Roman decided to join the US Army at the age of 18. After leaving the army he enrolled at Penn State University to study electrical engineering, but soon found an interest in computer science. 

Roman broke into the banking industry with Fleet which has been bought several times since. At the pinnacle of his banking career, Roman became a Vice President at Deutsche Bank supporting the local payment systems that process about $40 billion a month in transactions. When 9/11 happened the economy crashed and Deutsche laid off 10% of its employees. The banking industry was not nearly as stable as it once was and Roman made the tough decision to combine his passion for watches and his dream of working for himself, and Luxury Bazaar was born.  

Starting Luxury Bazaar

Starting as a one-man show from his basement, Roman grew Luxury Bazaar into the huge success it is today with over 40 employees, a 25,000 sq./ft. facility with sales exceeding $130 million per year. Roman has traveled the world making quite a name for himself in the luxury watch circle. He’s built a successful YouTube channel with over 200,000 followers and growing, largely for his tell-it-as-it-is, no holds barred approach to the watch space. He has collaborations with many notable names in the luxury watch industry such as Watch Eric, Producer Michael, Bob Maron, and many more. 

Roman Sharf’s Passion

Roman is not all business and no play. Family comes first and Roman enjoys spending time with his wife and 3 children above all things. Charity and giving back is also very important to Roman.
