Personal Summary

I love auctions!  Plain and simple.  I believe the value proposition for live auctions is the ability to engage the crowd on a personal level, and realize a greater result because of it.

I am a seasoned veteran auctioneer, with over 25 years of experience in the heavy equipment, automobile, charity fund raising, and general liquidation industries.  I can think on my feet and manage the fast pace of the auction environment, as well deal with my crowd on a personal level, that invites them to participate.

I also work diligently on my clarity because I believe while "speed" is important in some cases, a bidder is far more likely to engage when they understand exactly what's being asked of them.  Of course, when its time to "make hay", I can get after it.
