Full time in the Auction Business Since 1982.

Graduated from Missouri Auction School when it was still conducted at the Stockyards in Kansas City in August, 1982 --- Graduated #1 out of 158 students.

When he got out of Auction School he had $1,100 – a Wife in school who was not employed, an 10-year-old son, a mortgage, a car payment, no Auction supplies or equipment, had never worked an Auction before in his life in any capacity. BUT he had incentive – if he didn’t sell, they didn’t eat, simple as that!

-1988 Oklahoma Auctioneers Association Champion Auctioneer.
-(His Son JB Jr was the 2017 Dual Champion Oklahoma State Auctioneer Association Auctioneer & Ringman)
-Contestant in the First International Auctioneers Contest in 1988
-Past President of the Oklahoma Chapter of CAI Auctioneers

He car-pooled with “Mr. Ed Vierheller, OK Hall of Fame and NAA Hall of Fame & Paul Wells, former Instructor at Ft. Smith Auction School and OK Hall of Fame to Oklahoma CAI meetings for 25+ years – they traveled over 27,000 miles together going to and from those meetings - What a learning experience!!!

In 2016 he had the extreme pleasure of working with Arkansas Auctioneers David Stafford & Gary Cooper liquidating the “Deming Mansion” in Oswego, Kansas. 2019 along with Ken Warner, working for Dennis Huggins he assisted selling the St. Scholastica Monastery in Ft. Smith, Arkansas, an unbelievable experience!

If you ask him what his “Specialty” is he will tell you he does about everything BUT HE LOVES to orchestrate Large, Massive, Liquidation Auctions – establishing sale order, a smooth flow, and maximum dollars.

He says his biggest compliment comes before a large Auction when new bidders will say “there is no way they are going to get through all this” and one of his regular bidders will respond “evidently you have never been to one of JB’s Auctions? Hold on, you’re about to see it happen!”
