Listening to the auction chant was my favorite thing growing up.  My Dad's smooth tones rolled off his tongue as he sold horses.  It was always my desire to become an auctioneer.  I started my career selling horses.  Today I am a contract auctioneer selling for diverse companies.  I work selling cars, estates, land, surplus and farm equipment in NC, SC and Virginia.  I enjoy being a member of both NC auctioneer associations.  I was awarded the bidcalling championship in 2003 from the AANC.  A contestant in the IAC in 2010 I also served as a bid assistant for the IJAC and IAC finals where my good friend Eli took home the trophy.  It is my desire to promote my profession.  To treat others as I wish to be treated.  And to always have an extended hand to anyone who needs me.
