Richard has been in the accelerated marketing business on a full time basis for 18 years and has experience in the marketing and liquidations of businesses, industries, real estate, estates, antiques and municipalities.  He founded and operated Old South Auctioneers from 1989 until 1996.  In 1996 he joined the staff of a regional auction firm as a sales manager for private sector auctions as well as the sales manager for the firm's Small Business Administration (SBA) auctions within the state of Georgia.  After 2 years of extensive traveling, it became apparent to Richard that in order to provide the very best service for his clients, he had to narrow his area to within the state of Georgia and concentrate his efforts on a more localized market which includes the Greater Atlanta area.  In order to achieve this goal, Auctions, Inc. was formed.
