A 20-year industry veteran is back in the auction industry.

Kevin Brown has joined Great Lakes Auto Auction in South Bend, Ind., to consult on sales efforts and coach the sales team.

“Kevin has a reputation for growing auctions, and I feel honored to have him working with our sales team,” GLAA vice president Chad Anderson said in a news release. “Kevin brings years of experience working at independently owned auto auctions, and we are grateful he will be consulting with us at Great Lakes.”

Brown started his career at Missouri Auto Auction in 2000, becoming general manager in 2003 and a partner in the business in 2007. In 2018, he began working with Indiana Auto Auction, which he served as managing partner from 2019-22, forming relationships with national accounts and regional dealerships.

Having taken time to complete a real estate development while continuing his passion for buying and selling classic cars, Brown has returned to the auction.

“I’ve known Chad Anderson and Ryan Clark for years and have seen the success they’ve had in Rockford,” Brown said. “I’m looking forward to working with the great team at GLAA, led by general manager Heath Phelps, as they continue to grow the auction and form relationships with new customers.”
