Dan is the newest addition to the Dukas Auctioneer Group and he is thrilled to be part of the team of exceptional auctioneers found in the Dukas Auctioneer Group stable!

Raised in Southern California, Dan graduated from San Diego State University with a degree in Drama and immediately took a position with a luxury cruise line where he oversaw the passenger entertainment programs for over 8 years! It was here that Dan honed his auctioneering and emcee skills by hosting various shows including onboard art auctions.

Upon leaving the high seas, Dan relocated back to San Diego and for over 30 years has been working hand in hand with numerous nonprofits to both plan and run the live auction at their events. From small schools to large red-carpet events, Dan’s high energy, heartfelt compassion, and profound ability to connect with the audience on a personal level will bring your fundraising efforts to a new level!
