Meet Our Team

Our business has grown immensely since January 2018! Starting from a kitchen table, to expanding to garages and a few storage units, next to a moderately sized warehouse, we’ve now upgraded to a 44,000 sq ft. warehouse serving 30+ full-time employees.

Over time we’ve hired several specialized team members including two Auction Managers, a Production Manager, a Firearms Specialist, and a Facilities Manager, in addition to 11 Auction Inventory Coordinators who catalog inventory, handle inventory pick-ups, and provide excellent customer service.

Our Owners

Alaska Premier Auctions & Appraisals LLC was founded on January 4th, 2018 by Dan Newman, a lifelong Alaskan with a decade of history in broadcast and digital media marketing and sales with KTUU Channel 2 in Anchorage, Alaska. He is our principal Auctioneer and less than 1% of all minority benefit auctioneers in the country.

In July 2018 Dan took on a business partner, Nick Cline, who is now our Lead Auction Manager and Lead Appraiser. Dan manages most of the outreach and sales with his outgoing personality, while Nick is our quiet and reserved in-house appraiser, item expert, and lead auction manager.
