Every Dollar Should Be Felt.

4 to 6 months out gives us enough time to do the pre-event work properly. That said, we do take shorter timelines when our schedule allows. Reach out and we'll give you an honest answer about what's possible.

Pricing depends on event type, scope, location, and which services you need. We don't publish a rate card because no two events are the same: a 150-guest school gala has different needs than a 500-guest hospital benefit, and we price accordingly. On the first call, you'll get a clear number.

Yes. We'll review what you have, advise on sequencing and starting bids, and let you know if there are gaps worth filling. We have procurement resources if you want them. We'll never push you toward spending you don't need.

Yes. We work with events from 50 guests to over 1,000. A school PTA auction and a hospital gala require different approaches, but the same level of preparation. The strategy scales with the event.

What most volunteers miss is the months BEFORE the event — the donor data review, managing a timeline, the item sequencing, the Fund-A-Need ladder rehearsal. A pro isn't on stage for an hour. They're in your inbox months before.
And the real risk with a volunteer isn't a bad night — it's a one-time night. Your donors remember how they were treated. The ones who feel rushed or guilt-tripped don't say anything. They just don't come back next year.
What's your goal this year?

Absolutely, We've supported events in Atlanta Georgia, Reno Nevada, Arkansas, South Carolina and all across the US. Please visit the Booking page for availability and quotes.

Is auctioneering hard? I think it depends on the person. What makes it challenging is that no two events are ever the same. You’re reading a room in real time, public speaking, entertaining, and asking people you’ve never met to give generously — all at once.
For me, that’s also what makes it fun. You have just a few seconds to make a connection and create energy in the room. The hardest part is refining the craft: the timing, the improv, the comedy, the crowd reading, and knowing when to push or pause.
The actual auctioneering becomes second nature over time. Mastering everything around it is the real challenge.

Absolutely. Fund-A-Need–only events are very common, and I’ve worked with many organizations focused solely on that portion of the program. A well-executed Paddle Raise can often become the most impactful fundraising moment of the night. Reach out and we can discuss how to maximize engagement, energy, and giving for your event.

Absolutely. Whether your event includes fundraising elements or not, I’m happy to help keep the program engaging, organized, and energetic. From introductions and program transitions to audience engagement and creating the right atmosphere, I love helping events run smoothly and keeping guests connected throughout the night.

I grew up experiencing a lot of hurt, and for a long time I understood what it felt like to be overlooked. That’s really shaped how I show up now. When I’m on stage, I’m not just trying to run an event — I’m trying to make people feel seen, valued, and connected to something bigger than themselves.
There’s a real burning desire in me to touch lives across the country through this work, and I’m grateful that’s actually becoming reality. You don’t build relationships with organizations like the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation or Big Brothers Big Sisters of America by accident — that comes from showing up with genuine care for what they do.
People feel that. They can tell when you’re just there to “host an event” versus when you actually believe in the mission in the room. That’s what I bring every time.

One of the most memorable moments for me was working with an organization that rescued abused animals.
During planning, I suggested we include something truly personal for the live auction — something guests couldn’t just “buy anywhere,” but would emotionally connect them to the mission. That morning, we learned the organization had just rescued a baby goat who would be living permanently at the farm.
We turned that into a live auction item: naming rights for the baby goat.
We expected it to raise around $1,500.
It sold for $65,000 in a room of about 50 people.
The winning bidder chose to name the goat after her late mother who had recently passed. It was one of those rare moments where the entire room shifted — it stopped being about bidding and became something deeply personal and emotional.
That’s the power of a well-told story in a live auction.

Thankfully, I haven’t had any wardrobe malfunctions mid-auction… at least not yet.
One of the most awkward — and honestly funniest — moments happened at a 007-themed gala. The plan was for me to make a dramatic James Bond-style entrance. I was dressed in a black trench coat, hat, and glasses, and I was told to enter through the back of the room, which overlooked about 450 guests. The idea was simple: open the door, step in, and announce myself like a secret agent for a big cinematic moment.
I decided to lean into it a little more.
I kicked the door open and yelled, “HEY!”
The reaction was immediate. The room went from the sound of clinking forks and glasses to complete silence. You could feel it shift — pale faces, frozen expressions, and a very clear moment of confusion as 450 people tried to process what they were looking at.
It took a few seconds for everyone to realize what was happening, but once they did, the room erupted in laughter. In the moment, though, I definitely knew I had overshot the “dramatic entrance” instructions just a bit.
Looking back, it’s one of those moments I can still see clearly — and it always reminds me… maybe don’t kick a door open in a trench coat and black hat yelling “HEY!” in a room full of 450 people not expecting James Bond lol.
