Your Event Deserves a Partner Who Understands What’s at Stake
When you’re planning a fundraising event, you’re not just putting on a program — you’re inviting your community to support work that truly matters. You need someone who can help your supporters feel connected, engaged, and inspired to give generously. That’s the foundation of everything I bring to the organizations I serve.
I understand the pressure you feel leading up to an event. You want to create an experience that reflects the heart of your organization, keeps the evening moving smoothly, and maximizes the fundraising moments that matter most. It’s a lot to manage, especially when your team is already balancing so much.
My role is to take that weight off your shoulders so you can focus on what’s most important — your supporters and your mission.
Experience, Care, and Strategy Working Together
I’m a professional fundraising auctioneer and consultant based in Phoenix, partnering with nonprofits across Arizona and around the country. Each year, I support more than 220 events — from intimate luncheons to large-scale galas — helping organizations create nights that feel meaningful, energized, and financially successful.
I only work with organizations whose work genuinely speaks to me, because sincerity can’t be manufactured. When I stand on stage for your organization, I want to be able to speak naturally, authentically, and from the heart — in a way that resonates with your supporters and helps them feel the impact of their giving.
But what matters more than the number of events is how I approach them.
*On a personal note, fundraising has become the most meaningful part of my professional life. I’ve seen what strong events can make possible — new programs, expanded services, children and families supported, animals saved, lives changed. It’s a privilege to play a small part in helping organizations do more good in the world.
Fundraising Should Feel Natural, Not Scripted
The most successful events are the ones that feel effortless. That doesn’t happen by chance — it comes from preparation, strategy, experience, and an instinct for what a room needs in the moment.
I don’t rely on theatrics or gimmicks.
I rely on:
genuine connection with your audience
thoughtful preparation
clearly defined fundraising moments
reading the room and adjusting in real time
elevating the competitive spirit without losing sincerity
My goal is always the same: to help you capture every available dollar and create an experience your supporters remember.
A Partner Who’s Fully Invested in Your Success
When we work together, you’re not just hiring someone to show up and take the stage. You’re bringing in a partner who helps refine the flow of your event, strengthen the fundraising moments, and bring out the best in your guests.

What Our Clients Say
“From the moment Brett took the stage, the entire room changed. People leaned in, laughed, and paid attention — and most importantly, they gave generously. He struck the perfect balance between heart, clarity, and just the right amount of humor.”
“Planning a fundraiser is stressful. Working with Brett was the opposite. He brought calm, confidence, and a clear plan, and then delivered an evening that felt effortless. Our donors stayed engaged from start to finish — and yes, they were smiling the whole time.”
“We’ve worked with many auctioneers before, but Brett felt like a true partner. He prepared with us, cared deeply about our work, and brought an energy to the room that was warm, professional, and genuinely enjoyable.”
“Brett has an incredible ability to keep an event moving without ever feeling rushed. He made our guests feel comfortable, confident, and genuinely excited to participate. The night felt polished, but never stiff — and our results reflected that.”
“Brett understands people. He knows when to be heartfelt, when to add levity, and when to step back and let the moment breathe. That instinct is rare — and it made a measurable difference in how our supporters responded.”
“Our guests still talk about how fun the night was — which isn’t something you hear often after a fundraising event. Brett made giving feel good, natural, and memorable.”
Because the Work You Do Deserves the Strongest Possible Support
When your supporters feel connected, informed, and inspired, they give generously. When your event has momentum, clarity, and a confident presence on stage, your fundraising grows. And when you partner with someone who genuinely cares about your mission and your outcomes, the entire experience becomes more meaningful — for you and your guests.
That’s why I do this work.
