ABOUT
US
1984 - The oil patch is entering
one of its most treacherous times. Within two years, much
of the economies of Louisiana, Texas and Oklahoma will be
in a tailspin because of the incredible drop in the price
of foreign crude. Many people, forced to relocate by the oil
patch recession, will sell their homes at 80 percent of the
mortgage payoff and be glad to do it, just to get out from
under the burden. It will take almost a decade for the economic
impact of the oil patch recession to be absorbed by the states.
1984. Where others see distress, turmoil and chaos,
Daniel Kruse sees opportunity. Dan Kruse together with two
partners they form Superior Auctioneers, a company with a
charge to provide better marketing and customer service to
the energy industry. Within three months, Superior Auctioneers
holds its first auction and has five more booked.
Never satisfied with the status quo, Mr. Kruse, after a very
successful decade in the industry, buys out his partners in
1994 and begins leveraging the reputation of Superior Auctioneers
into new markets. The company aggressively pursues the construction,
banking, transportation and collector car markets. Bringing
the Superior Auctioneers heritage to these arenas establishes
the Superior Auctioneers name as the premier company for asset
liquidation in any market.
2003 - Daniel Kruse helps bring together Superior Auctioneers
and Marketing, Inc. and Kruse International, Inc. This alliance
merges two established, well-known and well-respected companies

offer comprehensive services for both buyers and sellers.

Auction World magazine has recognized Daniel Kruse as one
of the 50 most influential auctioneers in the world.
"When your peers recognize you as the best, and you have their
respect," remarks Daniel, "then you know you're on the right
track." He quickly adds, "But being on the right track is
no good if you're not constantly moving forward. There's plenty
of room at the top but no place to sit down!"
Kruse Asset Management believes that change is prevalent in
business, and the companies that make the right changes at
the right time are the companies on top. The successful organization
must continually evolve, improve and innovate new ideas, new
ways of doing business, but never leave behind the heritage
that brought them to the fore: Superior excellence, superior
integrity, superior professionalism and a superior commitment
