Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
I don’t think anything worth doing right is a smooth path in the auction industry no matter what you specialize in you have to wake up every morning and hustle and very few are there to help. Young auctioneers have to prove themselves more so because you are dealing with other people’s money and their livelihoods. The best piece of advice I received when I was young and starting out “you will get more clients when your hair starts turning gray” meaning people with trust you more with their money when you have more experience. I belong to the Texas Auctioneers Association and the National Auctioneers Association and am currently one of the NAA Ambassadors to the state of Texas, I have graduated from the Certified Auctioneers Institute at the University of Indiana and I stay active in my community. Education and community involvement have done a great deal for my success along with the support of family, friends, mentors and the good Lord above. You cannot be in this business alone you have to have a great team, thankfully I have one of the very best teams.
Please tell us about Swing City Auction Company LLC.
Swing City Auction Company specializes in Benefit and Event Auctions (black-tie galas) that is the biggest part of what Swing City does and is known for. Swing City also specializes in Sporthorse Auctions. (hunter, jumper, dressage disciplines) and some thoroughbred sales. Swing City also does some registered cattle sales and as a contract auctioneer, I have two weekly car auctions and cry some real estate auctions as well. I have been blessed to work all over the country and with a lot of really good auctioneers. I am proud of the fact that Swing City Auction Company has some pretty great people behind the brand and what our brand means to the clients and communities we have served and for those that hire us we are a part of a bigger team to help make a difference in the lives of others. I think what sets Swing City Auction Company apart from others is the one on one relationship we build with our clients, the attention to detail and the new fresh ideas that we help create with our clients. Each client in our eyes is part of the family and whether a current client or past client, we always want what is best and will help anyone who asks.

If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
I would have listened more and talked less, I would have joined my national and state associations sooner and would have gotten involved with my community sooner. I think we all get wrapped in our own world when trying to make things happen. I would have spent more time with family and talked to God a whole lot more.
