I am an auctioneer with nearly 40 years in the auction profession as an employee or contract auctioneer. I recently made the decision to be in business myself, with a focus on fund raiser auctions. I have been a member of the Idaho Association of Professional Auctioneers since 1988 and 25 years a member of the National Auctioneers Association, where I have taken specialized benefit auction courses. I am active in local events and currently serve as First VP on the Board of Directors for Caldwell Night Rodeo.
