Bio
Matt Clements
Andrew was a diamond in the rough when I first started mentoring him. He really didn’t know the ways of the world or how he could turn things to his personal advantage. Through hands on training at Kobo he was able to build an empire and become one of the most powerful people at the company. I fear him now.

Andrew is super fun to work with, his sarcastic sense of humor is always on point (for those capable of understanding sarcasm)! As a professional, he's the tip of the spear on documentation which means that whenever you have any questions, you can rely on documentation instead of having to waste time searching for the proper person to ask. This makes my job super easy and I'm glad for that!
