ABOUT ME
I'm a Christie’s-trained British auctioneer, a self-confessed auction geek, and professional auctioneer since 2012.
​
At Christie’s, I was an art specialist and one of the youngest auctioneers in the company’s long history. But in 2016, driven by the crisis in Syria, I stepped away from the art world to join the humanitarian charity Start Network.
​​
Two years later I combined my passions for auctions and supporting good causes to start The Auction Collective. We help people run their own auctions - whether that’s with our auctioneers or our flagship software, Indy.auction: a white-label auction platform designed for creators and brands.
​​
I’m endlessly passionate about auctioneering, and especially committed to using it to support causes that matter.
As for my auctioneer style? It's been described as:
​
"Energetic and enthusiastic meets professionally charming... and utterly persuasive."

CHARITY AUCTIONEER
As a benefit auctioneer for non-profits, I’ve raised over £20 million for more than 300 good causes across four continents. My fundraising approach is all about squeezing every penny or dime from the room - while ensuring every guest, bidder or not, enjoys an entertaining and lively atmosphere.
I blend professional auction charm with a dash of tongue-in-cheek humour to keep the energy high, the bidding fun and guests eager to return next year - because ticket sales and the event's reputation count for a huge amount.
COMMERCIAL AUCTIONEER
As a freelance commercial auctioneer, I've sold everything from dinosaur bones and rare stamps in Europe to contemporary art and luxury sports cars in the Middle East.
Whether it’s a single-lot private auction or a 500-lot live-streamed event, my approach remains consistent: professional, meticulously prepared, and engaging—ensuring maximum value for both vendors and the auction house.
SPEAKER
As a public speaker, I support my clients by moderating panel discussions, hosting Q&As, delivering engaging talks, and participating in interviews. My expertise spans auctioneering, the art world, charity fundraising, start-ups, tech industry, and even fatherhood.
