Since 1995, he has specialized in organizing and conducting charity and fundraising auctions for schools, charitable organizations, and nonprofit groups from Honolulu to New York City. Never the shy one, Keith has become well-known for his fun and entertaining auctioneering style that frequently takes him out from behind the podium and deep into the audience!

Keith holds an MBA from The UCLA Anderson School of Management and is a graduate of the world-famous Missouri Auction School, which Newsweek magazine dubs “The Harvard of Auctioneering.” He is also one of only a small number of auctioneers in the country–and only 20 auctioneers in California–to have achieved the National Auctioneers Association’s prestigious Benefit Auction Specialist (BAS) designation.

Sherry left her corporate career in marketing to become a cheeky auctioneer onstage and a trusted resource offstage for Development Directors seeking to improve the profitability of their fundraising galas.

Though her work has taken her to nearly every state and placed her alongside A-list celebrities, most days she is collaborating with her clients via Zoom, helping them plan their events as a trusted resource.  She’s spoken at many AFP conferences, collaborated with fundraising colleagues to write a book for small nonprofits, and been covered in dozens of newspapers and magazines.

Though based in the Washington, D.C. area, she maintains her bliss by sidestepping the political scene.
