Dave Chaddock is a lifelong entertainer and seasoned professional with a passion for performance and connection. Raised on a livestock ranch in California, Dave’s auctioneering career began early—he took the mic at just 13 years old and never looked back.

From spinning records as a radio DJ in his youth to playing in bands across the country, Dave’s love for the stage has always been clear. He’s even shared the spotlight with legends, performing alongside The Strangers (Merle Haggard’s band), Buck Owens, and many more. His favorite saying, “I love to be in front of the crowd, not in it,” perfectly captures his passion for entertaining.

Dave’s auctioneer career is decorated with accolades: he was Reserve Champion California State Auctioneer in 1998 and 1999 and proudly claimed the title of Champion California State Auctioneer in 2002. His excellence in advertising and marketing has also earned him numerous industry awards.

Behind every step of Dave’s journey has been his biggest supporters—his wife Tara and their four children. Their unwavering love and encouragement have helped fuel his success, whether he’s on stage, behind a mic, or in the auction ring. Family remains at the heart of everything Dave does.
