President Curt Kramer

Curt began in the auction business around 12 years old holding & ringing on junk wagons. He started auctioneering at the encouragement of his father during his 1st summer home from college and would often practice his auctioneer chant, much to the dismay of his college friends on the 4-hour trip back & forth from Stevens Point.

A 1998 Business graduate of UWSP, married with four children, Curt enjoys spending time outdoors & on the river with his family. He owns & operates Kramer Auction Service in Prairie du Chien where he is well known for specializing in Firearm Auctions.

Curt has been on the WAA board of directors since 2018.
