The week of the ball is here! And our final sponsor is part entertainment, part auctioneer, and a very familiar face to River City Ball as he has been a supporter in some form or fashion since our first year.
Josh Kirby, Realtor/Auctioneer-Blackwell Realty And Auction began his auction career attending farm auctions around Middle Tennessee, where he bought and sold everything from to***co sticks to combines — and just about everything in between. In 2015, he attended the Texas Auction Academy, where he further developed his skills and passion for becoming a full-fledged auctioneer. Through the relationships and experience he gained there, Josh was able to expand his career far beyond the boundaries of Middle Tennessee.
Throughout the years, Josh has been involved in auction operations across the country, including California, Las Vegas, Connecticut, Tennessee, and many places in between. While he enjoys the excitement and fast pace of the auction industry, what he values most is the opportunity to help people. That passion has led him to become heavily involved in benefit auctions, where he has helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for individuals, families, and organizations in need. Josh believes there is no greater reward than using his talents and platform to make a meaningful impact in the lives of others.
Josh lives just across the Wilson County line with his beautiful wife, Brianna, and their five children. When he is not conducting auctions, he works full-time as a realtor. And in his spare time, you can probably still find him at an auction, searching for another unique find.
