An Experienced AuctioneerI have over 15 years of auctioneering experience, and call over 200 auctions a year. That total includes auctions for wholesale cars, collector cars and fundraisers. My career has allowed me to travel across the western United States, working in Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, Montana, Wyoming and Utah. Throughout the years of exploring all these different cities and performing auctions, I have learned how to work with a wide variety of audiences. Whether people are buying expensive vintage cars or supporting their local schools, I pride myself in the ability to get everyone excited and enthusiastic while enjoying the auction process. The bottom line is auctions are a place to have fun! My goal is to have everyone who is in attendance at one of my auctions, having a good time and participating in the bidding excitement.

Campfire USA Portland Metro 2007-12-02Customer CommentsOur organization for several years did everything in house so we could save a few dollars. Last year we made a big change and hired Steve to be our auctioneer. The result was more people, more money and more fun. After the auction, one of our first steps was to hire Steve for our 2008 auction.
