Our Team
Dan Gross
My name is Dan Gross. I was born and raised in Montrose Mi. I grew up on our family farm.
Where we Cash crop farmed, Bought and sold new & used farm equipment.
My Passion to start up my own auction company started back when I was 5 years old.
I loved going to farm auctions with my father looking to score that next deal!
I was around the auction industry my entire life but never proceeded with my dreams until January of 2022.
I was in and out of the family business for many years as life sometimes directs you.
I came back to the farm and sales business back in July 2015. At that time, I slowly worked back into the business.
My wife Brina and I Officially took over the family business back in January 2021 when Elmer & Marge retired.
At that time, I bought out everything in our inventory that accumulated since 1965. As you could imagine there were a lot of unneeded things here, so we decided to have an inventory reduction auction August 2021.
At this time is when I really decided to fulfill my lifelong dreams to be an auctioneer and start Gross Auction Co.
We had a bad experience with how our inventory reduction auction was conducted.
So, I decided right then and there I was going to auction school and starting my own auction company.
I Graduated at American Auction Academy Back in January 2022 and we have never looked back!
We have hired several amazing employees and family of course which went through extensive training as well.
We conducted our first live & online auction in September 2022 and have had quarterly auctions ever since.
We are a veteran owned and operated company with several veteran employees.
We are a family-oriented company with several family members helping our team.
After encountering a very disappointing auction of our own by another company we pride ourselves on being the very best auction company we can be for our customers.
Here at Gross Auction Company, we strive to be the best and go above and beyond for our customers with HONESTY & INTEGRITY!
