Professional Background
Brad’s background in the auction industry began years before he owned a company. He worked alongside established auctioneers in a variety of roles, gaining hands-on experience in auction-day operations, logistics, and sale management. This early exposure continues to inform his practical, detail-oriented approach today.
After moving to Michigan in the late 1990s, Brad continued working with local auction companies and benefit auctions, gaining further experience as a ringman and floor assistant. In 2004, he attended auction school and began working as a contract auctioneer, auction manager, ringman, and later as a simulcast operator.
Over the years, Brad has worked with numerous auction companies across the Midwest and beyond, including assignments in Michigan, South Carolina, North Dakota, and other regions. This broad exposure has shaped a disciplined and adaptable approach to the business.
In July 2018, Brad purchased Epic Auctions and Estate Sales and transitioned into full-time ownership of the company. Today, he oversees a small, experienced team while remaining closely involved in the planning, logistics, and execution of each auction and estate sale.
A Methodical Approach
Brad is known for his attention to detail and his ability to manage the many moving parts involved in an auction or estate sale. He approaches each project methodically, with a focus on advance planning, logistics, and accuracy.
Much of the complexity in estate and auction situations comes from missed details, unclear processes, or assumptions made too early. Brad’s approach is designed to prevent those issues by establishing clear timelines, verifying information, and addressing logistical and regulatory considerations before the sale process begins.
This structured approach provides consistency, reduces uncertainty, and allows clients to move forward with confidence.
Working With Clients
Brad works closely with clients to understand both the assets involved and the broader context of each situation. His role is to provide clear guidance, realistic expectations, and careful oversight throughout the process.
Clients can expect clear communication, thoughtful planning, attention to detail, and a consistent professional presence from start to finish. Brad places a strong emphasis on accuracy, deadlines, and follow-through, ensuring that each project is managed responsibly and efficiently.
