ABOUT US:

IT ALL STARTED WHEN…

Leah Gioia was hired as a secretary at Pensacola’s own Garth’s Antiques &  Auction Gallery in the Fall of 2016. Over the several years to follow, and under the tutelage of the late Winston Garth & Robert Garth, it took no time for Leah to fall in love with Auctions.

In the summer of 2019, Leah proudly received her designation as Honorary Colonel - Auctioneer, as well as her Ring Master Certification from the Florida Auctioneer Academy. She was honored to be instructed by Gary Smith - a legend with true heritage in the Auction industry. She was also mentored by other noted individuals, such as Keith Trowbridge, Heath Ogle & Chris Bohr.

Leah is presently located in Pensacola, FL and actively assisting surrounding areas. Leah is a proud member of the FAA & the NAA. Leah is committed to a higher standard of excellence and passionate about actively increasing public awareness of Auctioneering, how the extensive efforts of the Florida Auctioneer’s Association(FAA) impact all Florida Residents, and how Auctions play a vital role in our society’s economy.
