Josh started his career in the auction industry in 1989 as a member
of Grafe Auction Company’s set-up crew. Josh graduated from the World
Wide College of Auctioneering in 1990, educated at the University
of Wisconsin-Stout and received a Wisconsin Real Estate Broker license
in 1995. While at Stout, Josh learned web programming and started
a web development, media and teaching company. Josh always maintained
a close relationship with Grafe and accepted a full-time Marketing
Director position in 1997. Josh and a programmer friend built the
award winning database driven Grafe Auction Company web site. Aside
from the web site, Josh was involved with all aspects of marketing
Grafe’s auctions for over ten years. Josh’s work with Grafe included
newspapers, magazines, print brochures, online campaigns, radio/TV
spots, multi-media presentations, banners, signs, trade shows, photography
and more. While maintaining marketing duties Josh would assist with
sale day events, inventory locations, research leads and occasionally
supervise a post-auction removal. All-in-all, if its auction related
Josh has done it; from initial contact through site clean-up Josh’s
roots in the auction business are well established. |
