Ken
& Bonnie Jackson have been involved in the auction profession for
over 30 years. They began working with Auctioneers Glenn Short & Associates
working up through every phase of the auction process. They learned the
business from the bottom up. In 1984 Mr. Short retired for health and
family reasons and Ken & Bonnie purchased his business.
After
graduating in June, 1984 from The Western College of Auctioneering in
Billings, MT they grew their business rapidly and soon it went from conducting
5-6 auctions per year to 2-3 per month. They specialized in antiques &
collectibles, estates, small business liquidations and storage foreclosures.
Ken continued his career with the Utah Dept. of Corrections while Bonnie
booked auctions, ran the office, set up the auctions and raised 5 great
children. Ken organized merchandise pickups and helped to organize and
set up the auctions after work and on weekends. They held auctions at
the S.L. County Fairgrounds and various other rented facilities for many
years for various clients including bank trustees, estate executors, school
districts, business owners and private individuals. Knowing the value
of forward thinking and recognizing the growth of technology, in 1987
they began computerizing their auction procedures and practices to better
serve their customers and clients.
In 2001, Ken retired from the Dept. of Corrections and a new phase of
growth began. Working together Ken & Bonnie continued to look for
new and better ways to serve their patrons. Striving always to be well
informed Ken & Bonnie have attended numerous educational seminars
and classes. Ken graduated from the Certified Auctioneer Institute at
Indiana University in Bloomington, IN and has earned the CAI designation.
The CAI is the highest designation awarded in the auction industry. It
is a three-part executive development program designed for decision-makers
in auction firms. Only 850 auctioneers in the US & Canada hold this
prestigious designation. Ken & Bonnie also regularly attend seminars
and conferences conducted by the National Auctioneers Association to keep
up on the latest trends and technologies available to aid in providing
better solutions to the needs of their sellers and buyers.
In February of 2005, they moved into their new 8000 sq. ft. auction facility
in West Jordan, UT to provide an expanded auction experience for sellers
and buyers. This has enabled them to provide a safe and secure venue to
showcase client's merchandise. They also offer the convenience of bidding
online via their website at www.funutahauctions.com
and through their live Internet broadcast auctions with
www.proxibid.com.
Through our association with Proxibid we have expanded our market to a
worldwide market. From the convenience of their homes many customers can
bid on items for sale.
