Why is Mark a Benefit Auctioneer?
As a professional benefit auctioneer, I believe every fundraising event should be both entertaining and profitable, while delivering your organization’s message and mission in a meaningful and impactful way. My passion for helping nonprofits and charities runs deep and is shaped by my upbringing. My father served as president of our local cancer society and having lost family members to cancer and seen others battle it firsthand, I am deeply committed to causes that make a difference in people's lives.
With a proven track record of raising an average of 136% of fundraising goals, I bring the energy, engagement, and expertise needed to create a dynamic and emotional atmosphere that inspires generosity and drives donations. Whether it's through live auctions, Fund-a-Need appeals, silent auctions, or comprehensive run-of-show consulting, I’ll help you maximize your event's potential.
Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, I proudly serve clients across the country, partnering with them to exceed their goals and create unforgettable experiences.
