Seattle-based fundraising auctioneer & Event Emcee helping nonprofits raise more and inspire action
I understand nonprofits and I bring that insight to every fundraising event I lead.
Hi I’m David! I’m a professional fundraising auctioneer and event emcee helping nonprofit organizations exceed their fundraising goals while creating unforgettable donor experiences.
Trusted by nonprofits, foundations, and mission-driven organizations.
Fundraising events are high stakes… and too important to leave to chance.
You have one night to:
Inspire generosity
Engage donors emotionally
Hit or exceed your fundraising goal
Yet many nonprofit events fall short, not because the cause isn’t worthy, but because the moment wasn’t fully realized.
That’s where the right auctioneer and emcee makes all the difference.
I don’t just run auctions.
I understand nonprofits.
I served as Executive Director for the Delridge Neighborhoods Development Association and Youngstown Cultural Arts Center for over 11 years.
Before stepping behind the microphone, I spent years leading nonprofit organizations - working with boards, donors, and leadership teams who cared deeply about impact and outcomes.
That experience shapes everything I do.
When I partner with you, you get:
A strategic fundraising partner, not just a professional voice on stage.
Someone who understands donors and nonprofit realities.
An event flow designed to maximize participation, energy, and giving.
I stay focused on your mission, momentum, and results. And I keep things moving with positivity, humor, and warmth.
