Jeff's career in the real estate business started in 1980. After graduating from business school at the University of Tennessee, he started managing condominiums and office properties in Memphis and Jackson, Tennessee. His experiences over a span of many years include development of apartments and office buildings, buying and selling hotel properties, managing shopping centers and industrial properties and the construction of new homes.

Jeff was introduced to real estate auctions in 2000 and was involved in every aspect of a regional real estate auction company. His experience included over 300 separate auctions and over 1,000 separate properties that were auctioned. Properties auctioned run the gamut of property types from shopping centers, hotels, large tracts of land with thousands of acres, farm land, timber tracts, cattle farms, residential homes, apartments, golf courses and resort properties. Jeff founded Morris Auction Group in February, 2007 and believes that the auction business is in its infancy and expects the growth of the auctions of real estate over the next decade to be phenomenal.

Jeff graduated from Christian Brothers High School and the University of Tennessee at Martin. He is licensed as an auctioneer and a real estate broker and is a graduate of the World Wide College of Auctioneering, a member of the National Auctioneers Association, a member and board member of the Tennessee Auctioneers Association and a member of the Arkansas and Mississippi state auction associations. He earned his AARE (Accredited Auctioneer Real Estate) from the National Auction Association in December, 2008. In his community he is a graduate of Leadership Memphis and past member of the boards of Senior Services, Special Olympics and the YMCA. He and the company are licensed in the states of Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.

G.A. Bryant, a native of Louisville, KY and a proud alumni of the University of Louisville, caught the auction bug when he was barely one year old. On Friday nights he would accompany his family to the Auction Barn and watch the auctioneers work. His father even brought him to the Tobacco Auctions as well as every farm and equipment auction around. This inspired G.A. to pursue a career in the auction industry. In 1986 he obtained both his Auctioneer and Real Estate Sale Licenses and in 1999 he obtained his certification as a personal property appraiser from the Certified Appraisers Guild of America.

For most of the past 20 years G.A. has specialized in personal property liquidation and in 1999 he was persuaded to move to Memphis, TN by a local auction company. He worked either as an Auctioneer or Ringman for some of the major auction companies throughout the Southeast area conducting sales in TN, KY, IN, OH, AR, MS, AL, GA, NC and FL. The results of his sales over the past 20 years has totaled over $200,000,000 in personal property alone. In his spare time G.A. enjoys the outdoors, watching college football and basketball.
