BOERNE, TX, September 10, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ --A formidable husband-and-wife team, Rick Stroud and Cindy Soltis-Stroud do everything together. They audit companies, ride their Harleys and volunteer for charity as a twosome, but they are probably best known for their auctioneering work. At the helm of Blue Fox Auctions & Consulting, the Strouds are benefit auctioneer specialists (BAS) trained specifically to work with nonprofits or organizations seeking to raise funds. "Rick and I are a husband-and-wife team," Cindy said in a recent interview with Cambridge Who's Who. "Even though that's not unheard of, it's very unusual."

There are approximately only 103 BAS auctioneers in the United States, and the Strouds take pride in the quality of work that they bring to the table. "Rick and I both have very unique skills in the fact that we can walk into any organization, any company and, with a few interview questions, determine what the organization's weaknesses are and then offer solutions or suggestions," Cindy stated. "We complement each other," added Rick. "We pick up different things from the clients and work together."

It was Rick who first ventured into auctioneering. He recalled that he landed his first job with local auctioneers at the age of 15 and immediately fell in love with the industry. Later on, he fell in love with Cindy. In 2008, after supporting him as a clerk and cashier, she finally joined him on the podium by earning certification from the Texas Auction Academy. Anyone watching the pair in action would know that it is a match made in heaven. The Strouds have since showcased their breathless, mile-a-minute wizardry at the International Auctioneers Championship, a kind of Olympics for auctioneers. Cindy competed at the event in Overland Park, Kan. last year.

The Strouds use their talents to raise funds for several charities, and make it a point to donate their services to at least one organization every year. They are deeply aware of the good that they can do. "Every time we work with a nonprofit organization or work with a company as an auditor, we always leave them better than we found them," Cindy said. "That's our mark on society."

Rick Stroud and Cindy Soltis-Stroud are affiliated with the Texas Auctioneers Association, the American Society for Quality, and the National Auctioneers Association. Both are also active members of the Harley Owners Group (HOG), which is known for its support of nonprofits. They are currently working on their CAI designation. An acronym for Certified Auctioneers Institute, it entails highly specialized training for auctioneers. Less than 2 percent of practicing American auctioneers hold this certification.
