John Sisk Auctioneers, Inc

John Sisk Auctioneers was established in January of 1981. John attended Britten Auction Academy in Bryan, Texas for something fun to do, not really meaning to get in the auction business, while recovering from an accident that had caused him to spend the previous 13 months in the hospital, Encouraged by Walter Britten, the schools founder, that he really had some natural ability in the bid-calling aspect of auctioneering, and with his corporate business knowledge coupled with his experience in the construction area, he would do well to consider this as a profession.
Having been to only one auction (a pure-bred cattle auction) in his life, prior to auction school, the idea seem far fetched. Once again, encouraged to practice and attend the Texas Auctioneers Association's Convention by Walter Britten, he attended the convention that year and three months out of auction school was awarded the Reserve Grand Champion Bid Calling trophy for 1981.
From that exposure, John began doing contract work for auctioneers all over the State, which he still does, and eventually began setting up his own sales as well. He believes in continuing education and is constantly trying to better himself and his company.
John is a member in good standing of the National Auctioneers Association (NAA), the Texas Auctioneers Association (TAA) (which he serves on the Board of Directors) holding State License #7425, (AMI) (CAI) Auction Marketing Institute (from which he has earned the distinguished "CAI" designation, the highest designation achieved and awarded for professionalism in the auction industry, and has done all the course work to attain the "GPPA" designation in appraising from the same Institute), (CAGA) Certified Appraisers Guild of America, and is a co-founder of (FCAI) The Fellowship of Christian Auctioneers International.
