“Great job at the live auction, Joe! You ‘wowed’ them. Appreciate your efforts and professionalism. We set new standards for our program. Looking forward to our next one.”

Chef Dean Louie, Maui Culinary Academy

“ I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all your expert assistance with the Noble Chef event. The event was perceived as very successful and the faculty and students are extremely grateful

One of the things that our island of Maui lacks is an auctioneer of your caliber.

You are a pro and I hope that others at the event will call upon your talents for their auctioneer needs!” 

Karen Miller, Maui Culinary Academy Event Chair

“Hot to trot, was an understatement, as you truly rocked that auction!”
