Extensive Experience
35 years of experience in the auction industry having a diverse portfolio from pottery to produce, from Lenox to llamas from heirlooms to heavy equipment.

"I was practically born into the business and I have made auctions my life. I too was once hypnotized by the chant of the auctioneer, the circus like excitement that overtook the crowd, the amazing assemblage of stuff that filled the room or field and the speed at which it all changed hands. I was taken to the produce auctions since I could walk, and the occasional farm sale but it wasn't until I was ten and bought an old gas powered model car (my first purchase) that I was hooked. Not only are auctions fun (most of them) but you can get some surprising deals! And that is the magic of the auction; fun, excitement, deals and a circus like feel. It is hard to get all that entertainment anywhere else. Of course the auction has to have Items of interest to you and sooner or later everything winds up on the block. Fine art to auto parts to real estate, all wind up on the block for various reasons."
