Tommy Ingram graduated in 1984 from Fort Smith Auction School and entered into the auction
business that same year. Tommy spent the next several years selling farm and transportation
equipment throughout the southeast. That combination of hard work and dedication landed Tommy

included auction duties and maintaining customer accounts with Taylor and Martin Auctioneers.
In his tenure there Tommy achieved gross sales in access of $70,000,000.00.
In 2004 Tommy sold over $28,000,000.00 in gross sales earning him top sales award for that year
and a record for a single salesman for the company.
In late 2006 Tommy pursued auctioneering interest and contracted auction duties with nationwide
companies such as TruckCenter.com, Adesa Auctions, Vocon Auctions, Hilco Industrial, Schneider
Industries Garner Auctions, and American Auctioneers just to name a few.
Tommy was accepted into the Auction Marketing Institutes, CAI program in 2008. This program has
a designation that is held by approximately 1000 auctioneers out of over 85,000 licensed
auctioneers worldwide.

Sandy and their three children Sydney, Taylor, and Chase. Tommy is a long standing member of
the National Auctioneers Association. Tommy’s compassion and energy makes him one of the most
