Mark J. McClain
// Co-Owner & Auctioneer
My interest in the auction industry started at a young age, with influence from my father. I grew up attending auctions with my dad, and eventually working for him at his own auction company. My passion continued as I pursued Auctioneer School and graduated in 1990, and immediately started calling auctions at his company.
As a driven entrepreneur and a desire to utilize my civil engineering education, I started a reputable excavating business, which I successfully owned and operated for nearly 20 years, until its recent acquisition by another local company. Being an accomplished businessperson, with ownership in numerous businesses, I possess determination and motivation. These are imperative characteristics that I incorporate in the day-to-day operations of our auction business.
I look forward to building a long-lasting relationship with my clients.
