JT McWilliams
JT McWilliams is a second generation auctioneer. While working in the family auction business as a young boy, his auctioneer dad would cast the microphone in his hand when they came to an odd lot, and say “Sell it, John!”. Thus, a seed was planted.
As fate would have it, there was not a family business to join when he graduated from college, so JT embarked upon a career in the packaging industry where he has successfully run his own distribution company for over 20 years. However, that auction seed laid dormant within him, and in 2004 JT acquired his Auctioneer’s License.and has been conducting industrial, real estate, and benefit auctions every since.
JT is a bilingual auctioneer, and is fluent in Spanish. He earned a BS in Business Administration at Brigham Young University. He lives in Dacula, GA with his wife, Cynthia, and their 3 children.
