Tracing his love of auctioneering to the Ozark Mountains in 1974, Dan Dotson has been around the auctioneering business since he was a child. According to the American Auctioneers website, the company owned and operated by the Dotsons; Dan spent his summers in northwest Arkansas with his grandfather, who was a cattle and farm auctioneer. At Dan’s request, his grandfather began teaching him the auctioneering business when he was just 11 years old. It seems that he was so hooked on this new career path that at the age of 16, he started skipping school to attend a local auction house to help sell furniture.
Dan Dotson would go on to establish American Auctioneers in 1983, a company that now manages over 3,000 auctions and appraisals annually. This is, of course, in addition to being a regular cast member on “Storage Wars.”
In a 2014 interview with Dan posted to his official YouTube channel, he gleefully expresses his gratitude for the business and his love of auctioneering, “I have enjoyed this business immensely for 39 years. And it’s just brought everything into my life. I met my wife at auctions. I’ve got a nice life … It’s just a wonderful business and it’s not the same. Every day it changes and that’s one of the reasons that I just really like this industry. It keeps my attention and it’s brought a lot of good opportunities.”
