Lead Auctioneer

Jake Addams is a dedicated benefit auctioneer committed to raising vital funds for non-profits that support children and families. He also specializes in selling antiques, militaria and fine art when not raising money for charity.

Jake’s career is built on two decades of diverse communication and business expertise. He began his public speaking career as a radio personality on 96.3FM in Lubbock, TX, before pivoting to a 20-year career in e-commerce and digital marketing in Central Texas. Throughout this time, his versatile skills as a public speaker, event announcer, and voice talent were honed through various creative roles. The foundation for his auctioneering passion was set in 2018, where he successfully ran annual online liquidation auctions, followed by leading his children’s elementary school fundraising auction.

In 2024, Jake pursued his true calling, graduating from the Auctioneer Academy in Waco and dedicating himself to the profession full-time. Having personally navigated the complexities of family life, (Jake is married with three children, two of whom have special needs) his personal experience fuels his mission. This deep connection drives an unmatched authenticity, allowing him to genuinely connect with guests and donors and inspire them to be a vital part of the cause.
