How and when did you want to become an auctioneer: I was always interested in being an auctioneer but it was my Dad who finally talked me into going to auction school in 2016. It has been worth it ever since.

Who introduced you to the OSAA: I found OSAA on the internet while searching for auction contests. But a couple members made me feel extra welcome there. Jeff Crissup and Corky Heard really made me feel like I was apart of the organization and not just a member. ... See MoreSee Less
