Before Storage Wars
Mary Padian worked as an intern with D magazine in 2003. She also worked for Architectural Digest in New York City as an assistant editor. It was there that she discovered her passion for finding and re-purposing old objects. This eventually led her to create videos which she called “Mary’s Finds!” where she would showcase inexpensive home décor items.
She soon returned to Texas and, within a year, opened her store, Mary’s Finds. One of her frequent customers was Morris “Moe” Prigoff who, after purchasing abandoned storage units in auction, would bring things to Padian’s store.
Storage Wars
Mary Padian was first seen on Season 1 of Storage Wars: Texas with Prigoff in her store. Her sharp eye and shrewd business sense did not go unnoticed, and he took her under his wing.
The 36-year-old joined the Storage Wars: Texas cast in the second season as Prigoff’s partner. They worked together and the items in each unit would go to one of their stores. Padian then appeared on Storage Wars Season 5 as a recurring member, before joining on full-time.
