Michael Adcock has been named the National Auto Auction Association Auctioneer of the Year for 2022. The honor was presented during NAAA’s 2022 Annual Convention in Dallas. 

Named in honor of Bernie Hart, who served as NAAA’s executive director for more than 30 years before retiring in 1988, the annual award recognizes the auctioneering industry’s most visible person. 

Adcock is a third-generation auctioneer from Lancaster, Pa. He has shared the block with his grandfather, his father, his brothers, his uncles, and his cousins. He was inspired by the talented auctioneers in his family from a young age. 

Adcock’s father, M. Scott Adcock, won the title of World Champion Automobile Auctioneer in 1991 when Michael was just 5 years old. In 2008, at the age of 22, Michael earned his own World Champion trophy, and he was the youngest contestant to ever do so. The following year, his brother, Charles Adcock, won the title, earning their family triple-crown recognition in the auction industry.
