When it comes to auction savvy,
Frank's well runs deep.
Here are just a few examples:
- He has designed national and local advertising campaigns.
- Innovated multifaceted strategies resulting in millions in revenue.
- Has raised over 25 million dollars for non profits nationwide.
- Sold over 1,000 items in one day (a grand slam feat for auctioneers).
- Owned and operated a 12,000 sq. ft. antique auction gallery, public auto and equipment auction.
- Sold items valued from $50 to over $25 million.
- Appeared as featured talent in numerous radio and T.V. commercials and a N.F.L fundraising documentary.
- Frank has conducted benefit auctions with crowds of under 50 to over 5,000.
On several occasions he sold 1000 items in one day. Once selling surplus state office equipment (the auction was reported in the United Press International for its unprecedented success), and once selling out a national trucking line.
As a FUNDRAISER , Frank became the Go-To auctioneer. High spirited, humorous, witty, and tireless, he was sought after for his talent and experience. He boosted the bottom line and brought success to each event he appeared at.
He was raising millions of dollars and was about to reach national recognition with a 200 million dollar contract from the federal marshal system when all collapsed. Divorce and the loss of his family broke his spirit and he quit, sold out and returned to Pennsylvania. Several years passed as he regrouped and continued to auction for other companies.
Of course, there is silver living in every cloud.
Well there was for Frank. Enter Wenda, a new start, hard work, two precious boys, and mended pieces.
Okay, now you know
Life isn't easy
But...Whoever said it is.
It is a Challenge,
And Frank and Wenda are up to yours. |
