Professional Bid Assistant • Automotive Enthusiast

Jansen Rogers has been a familiar face at benefit auctions for many years, working alongside his father, Ernie Rogers, and bringing his own energy and talent to every event. From an early age, Jansen showed a natural gift for “spotting a bid from a mile away,” and today he is one of the most dependable and enthusiastic Ringmen on the Blacktie Benefit Auctions team.

A lifelong car enthusiast, Jansen’s passion for classic automobiles is legendary. Whether he’s restoring an old engine, hunting for his next project car, or swapping stories with fellow enthusiasts, he brings the same energy and excitement that he brings to the auction floor. In fact, if you mention cars to Jansen, you may not need to say another word for the rest of the evening—because he’ll immediately have a story, a connection, or a memory that somehow ties back to someone you know.

Beyond his automotive knowledge and technical skills, Jansen is a natural networker with a gift for connecting with people of all ages and backgrounds. His friendly personality, quick humor, and genuine interest in others makes him an exceptional ambassador for Blacktie Benefit Auctions.

Above all, Jansen has a true passion for fundraising auctions. He understands the importance of every paddle raised and every dollar earned, and he works tirelessly to help support the missions of the nonprofits and schools that trust Blacktie Benefit Auctions.
