What is your professional background or experience prior to joining Kraft?

I’ve been an auctioneer 48 years. I was a supervisor most of my 35 years at Eli Lilly until retiring in 2004.  Sold livestock and collectibles most of my 48 years, mainly Quarter Horses across the country. Operated a Quarter Horse farm and trained top quality horses for several years. Coached High School Baseball and won a world championship in 1992 for Colt League boys.

When did you start working for Kraft?

I started working for Kraft about 10 years ago. 

Have you held any other positions at Kraft prior to your current role?

I helped to build and grow the toy division. 

What do you enjoy most about working at Kraft Auction/Kraft Real Estate?

The people and help run a class operation.

What do you believe sets Kraft apart from other auction and/or real estate services?

The offerings with the tremendous growth for the company makes it where it’s probably one of the only auction companies that can sell anything for its clients.

Is there anything else you would like to add?

Conrad and I started the same year as auctioneers, and Jonathan and Anna have taken the business to a level way beyond anything expected. Hard work and great knowledge has paid off, not to mention they are just a great family that helps so many others in the community and beyond. Our lasting friendship will last forever. Thanks for letting me be part of your success!!!
