Andy has a broad work history and unique blend of knowledge gained by working in both information technology (from 1986 to 1997) and in the financial services industry. Upon college graduation with a double major (Finance & Economics), he began his work career in information technology with AT&T/Bellsouth, where he spent several years in data networking, design and sales. In 1997, after consulting with the Nashville-based JC Bradford & Company on the design of a new corporate data network for the firm, he was offered the opportunity to begin a new career in financial services with JC Bradford.
His 27-year career in financial services began as a Regional Wholesaler (with JC Bradford), and he later transitioned to Divisional Manager with Hartford Life. During the 4-year period from 1997 to 2001, Andy traveled extensively, and his duties included conducting client and broker workshops in over 30 states in the areas of Financial Planning, Estate Planning, Structured Products and Wealth Preservation.
In 2001, to minimize travel and be home for the raising of his 3 children, Andy transitioned to the role of Financial Advisor with Hilliard Lyons (now Baird). For the past 23 years, he has worked as a Financial Advisor, and from 2007 to 2019 he also served as Assistant Branch Manager and Branch Manager.
Andy resides in Nashville with his wife Tammy and they greatly enjoy spending time outdoors with their 3 adult children and 2 (so far) grandchildren. He is an active member of Covenant Presbyterian church and in the local community, serving several non-profits and currently serving as Board Member of the Cornerstone Financial Credit Union. He is frequently spotted playing golf, hiking and playing pickleball.
