With over 20 years of experience in professional fundraising, Shawn Hagler is a powerhouse in driving charitable success. His passion lies in maximizing every dollar for your organization—transforming live auctions and paddle raisers into life-changing moments. The millions raised under his leadership have made a lasting impact on countless lives.
For the past decade, Monica Higdon has been an integral force in the auction industry and at Hagler Auction Group, she's had a pivotal role working side by side with Shawn to care for every clients' experience. Her dynamic presence and natural chemistry with Shawn bring unmatched energy to live auctions—creating an atmosphere where giving feels exciting, effortless, and impactful.
Shawn and his team have achieved over 10 renowned championship titles in the field of auctioneering including several national championships and several Team championships. Both Shawn and Monica enjoy engaging in the auction industry with other industry leaders and are members of multiple state associations.
One of Shawn's greatest passions is teaching. With a background in college football and years of coaching high school athletes, he's always carried a natural gift for encouragement and connection. Today, he pours that same energy into Champion Ringman College, that he owns and operates with Monica. Together they train and inspires the next generation of Ringmen. Live auctions benefit from having that important role because they add that personal touch with your guests and donors so they feel confident in the bidding process and raising the most for your cause.
