Bob Howe, Michigan Ringman Champion 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n Bob Howe graduated from Central Michigan University, with his Bachelor\u2019s Degree in 1968 and Master\u2019s Degree in 1971. He graduated from the Missouri Auction School in 1977 and held his first auction in September of that same year.<\/p>\n He has conducted thousands of auctions and owned three auction companies starting with Brother Bob\u2019s Auction Service, then Heritage Action Firm which he sold in the late 90\u2019s and finally Epic Auctions and Estate Sales which he sold in July of 2018.<\/p>\n He has been a consecutive member of the MAA since 1977. He has served the industry by serving as Secretary of the Board of Directors of the Michigan Auctioneers Association twice in his career, one long stint in the late 70\u2019s and 80\u2019s and then again recently. In addition, he completed his CAI designation in 1988 and thereafter served on the CAI Board of Governors.<\/p>\n This was Bob\u2019s very first time competing in the Michigan Ringman Championship and he said while waiting in the wings for his turn that he just wanted to go out and have fun. Looking at the results, it appears that he did just that.<\/p>\n Bob is semi-retired and always looking to assist any auctioneer or auction company in any way that he can. He lives in East Lansing, Michigan with his wife Sheila who is also an auctioneer, ring person, clerk and cashier.<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n Established in 1951, the Michigan Auctioneers Association is dedicated to the enhancement of Michigan\u2019s Auction Industry through education, promotion, advocacy and networking.
