Thatcher Keast is the Consignment Department Manager and Auction Coordinator at RM Sotheby’s where he oversees consignments and the logistics of making an auction come to life. He began working in the automotive industry at just 14 years of age when he started his own automotive detailing business in Salina, Kansas. He soon found a mentor in a local car collector and became responsible for maintaining his diverse collection of automobiles, including Shelbys, Porsches, and Brass Era Rolls-Royces. In 2022, he attended the World Wide College of Auctioneering, where he gained the skills needed to sell cars crossing the block at auction. He is now a licensed auctioneer and a great addition to the RM Sotheby’s roster.
