Auctioneer
Facilitating dozens of events each year, I'm passionate about raising funds for mission-focused nonprofits, institutions, and charitable trusts. With over a decade of fundraising experience, I'll maximize your revenue through lively, engaging, and strategically organized events—irrespective of size or budget.
​
When we collaborate, your objectives become my objectives. I don't simply sell items at your auction; I delve into the driving force behind your cause and the individuals that continue to support it. This enables me to genuinely and respectfully inspire donors to contribute more than ever before.
Emcee
Known for my engaging and poised stage presence, as your master of ceremonies, I seamlessly guide your guests, speakers, performers, and VIPs through your event. I'm proud of my ability to strike just the right balance between informative and entertaining, ensuring goals are met and providing the context, clarity, and energy your guests need to thoroughly enjoy themselves.
My diverse background and depth of experience across industries and geographies enable me to read and connect with any room. From tiny historical preservation boards to one of the largest healthcare organizations in the Pacific Northwest, I've synergized—and improvised—with groups large and small, hosting memorable and impactful events.
