Dorothy and I just saw Ordinary Angels today. I was so excited and surprised to see my video and my interviews at the end of the movie to show what it really looked like back in 1994.

I am coming up on my 16th year since leaving NBC San Diego and my broadcast journalism career. Though I loved that part of my life, I have never looked back. But check this out! On the cover of the most recent cover of Antique Week (don't laugh, I love Antique Week), Menish Productions get the top middle section that says "In 2022, Menish Productions held a Kentucky flood relief benefit auction. Among the offerings was a 20-year old Double Eagle Bourbon in a collector's decanter that sold for $14,100." As cool as that is, they don't mention the barrel of 15 year Willet that sold for $450,000 and we sold it 4 times! All good and I am so blessed! So blessed!!! (Thanks to my friend Doug Harritt for sending me this copy!)

Thanks to my old station, WHAS11 News for giving me credit on the story I shot and reported of the town that came together to help a little girl get an organ transplant in the middle of a blizzard. Her story became a book, and in February, will be on the big screen with Hillary Swank in the lead role. It was a great Louisville moment that deserves all the attention it is receiving.

During the winter storm of 1994, nearly 16 inches of snow stood between a young girl and a liver transplant she desperately needed.

During the Winter storm of 1994, viewers were stuck at home and tuned into our extensive coverage of one of the biggest weather stories we had ever seen.

Forbes covered our Art of Bourbon Auction because it was so HUGE! I sold a bottle of Pappy for $35,000 which is mentioned in the article.

Once relegated to the diminishing "brown goods" category, bourbon is a market leader and sets record at auction.

2024 is going to be the year that real estate goes to auction, and not just distressed sales. Check out this Forbes article on Absolute Real Estate Auctions.

The process of buying or selling real estate is never without its risks and rewards, and this range of possibilities is never more apparent than at the no-reserve auction.

Merry Christmas.

Want to see what a $10.5 million dollar auction looks like? Of course the 6 items I sold didn't raise that money alone, but the auction and the "raise the paddle" were doubled by our host and went a long way toward that enormously successful outcome. Check out live auction item #6. You won't believe how much it sold for.
