"For almost a decade, Dave has been our auctioneer at galas, single handedly raising more money than we ever dreamed of due to his passion, commitment, and love for the kids in Guatemala. At other events, like Grapes for Humanity, his auctions are so compelling that he's often allowed to sell duplicates! He’s the real deal, and we’re grateful to work with him."

Bassett Events

"We engaged Dave to be our auctioneer for the evening with a goal of raising a lot of money.

Dave did not disappoint! In my 23 years of producing events, Dave was by far the best auctioneer I have ever worked with. He was professional and relatable. His charm and charisma as well as his humour not only had our guests

laughing out loud but bidding. With his help we far exceeded our revenue goal.

I would recommend Dave and look forward to working with him in the future!"

"Thankfully we hired Dave and got him involved. We're certain we wouldn't have raised the money we did without him. He did his homework, he learned about our cause and mission, and used all of this knowledge to bring excitement, fun and laughter to the room resulting in generous commitments from our guests. We will definitely be bringing him back next year. He helped us exceed our fundraising goal and was worth every penny!"

"It was an absolute pleasure working with Dave—he is the epitome of professionalism. What really stood out was how he went out of his way to personally thank many of the auction winners. His genuine gratitude made a huge impact, and the feedback on the Fund A Need was outstanding. He added a fun, unique touch that encouraged giving in a lighthearted way.

 

We were also impressed by Dave's incredible flexibility on the night. When we threw additional auction items and last-minute speaking notes his way, he handled it all effortlessly and seamlessly. His ability to adapt and keep everything running smoothly made the entire event feel effortless. I highly recommend working with him!"
