Patrick Grant fell into auctioneering when he agreed to be the auctioneer at one of his friend's fundraiser.  After a successful night, Patrick found that he had a natural talent in auctioneering but he needed some refining. 
 
Patrick did some research, and he found an auctioneering school in Montana.  There, Patrick learned how to auction.  He then found work in Bellingham as an estate auctioneer.  He worked there for a year, then he worked for a couple of months as a ringman.  After 6 years working as an auctioneer, Patrick decided to open up his own auctioneering company. 
 
Patrick recently booked his first Canadian client for the Rotary conference in Whistler, BC.  Patrick also wrote a short novel titled, "SOLD!".
