Hi to all my MSAA Family!

Last weekend was truly a dream come true and I’m so blessed and thankful to be your 2023 Minnesota State Champion Auctioneer. I’ve looked up to and learned from so many of you and I couldn’t have achieved this without all of you. So, from the bottom of my heart, Thank you!

I look forward to serving as this year’s MSAA ambassador and am excited to focus on the younger generation and the local communities. I plan to speak to as many high school and college classes as I can as well as attend several community events promoting and advocating for the MSAA and the entire auction industry. Again, thank you so much and I look forward to seeing you at the summer picnic in August and/or the 2024 MSAA conference & show. God Bless!

Hall of Champions

The Hall of Champions is reserved for the current and past Minnesota State Champion Auctioneer. Each Champion was awarded the honor of State Champion Auctioneer at the Minnesota Champion Auctioneer Contest. The contest is the showcase public event held each year at the annual Conference and Show. The contest consists of two divisions – Champion and Rookie. The Champion Auctioneer is determined through a preliminary round of selling three items and a final round of selling three items and answering three interview questions. This winner of this contest represents the industry throughout the coming year and joins a very select group of men and women in Minnesota who hold the title of Minnesota State Champion Auctioneer and are enshrined in the Hall of Champions.
