The thing I love most about my career is that I help make thousands of dreams come true! With 20 years as a Professional Fundraising Auctioneer, I have helped design hundreds of successful events that have generated a $100,000,000+ for a variety of nonprofit organizations throughout the U.S.

Growing up in a family of auctioneers, creating fun, memorable and lucrative events is in my blood, and I want to offer the best consultation and fundraising services possible. I have acquired the Benefit Auctioneer Specialist (BAS) designation from the National Auctioneer Association, one of only 200 in the United States. One of the things that I'm most passionate about is teaching nonprofit professionals about effective event fundraising at many workshops and conferences around the nation.

For years events have been seen as the ugly stepchild of fundraising, but when done effectively this can change everything for your organization. It's my personal mission to help you transform your event into a fantastic experience that lives on within your donors for years to come.

With unlimited energy and an innovative brand of “FUN-raising,” At Call To Auction we have an outstanding reputation for connecting with small and large groups of attendees from all levels and converting them into bigger donors. Our team of fundraising professionals is passionate about helping each organization develop its plan and ultimately realize its vision. As ambassadors for many lucrative events, we inspire innovative strategies to create exciting, engaging and energetic fundraisers.

One of the best parts of an event is watching the numbers rise beyond the expected fundraising totals. Providing high-power solutions that generate the highest returns is our mission and we put it to the test at each and every event. We are proud to say we have successfully turned many dreams into reality and anticipate many more to come!
