I’ve worked with Andy in a number of capacities over the years. Most recent was in an executive coaching capacity. The experience was nothing short of incredible. The reflection, encouragement, challenges and insight Andy brought as I worked through my goals were powerful. With a simple acknowledgement or reflection of a thought, Andy was masterful in invoking critical thinking and new reflections. As we progressed through the engagement, the learnings and outputs I recorded and generated were strong in content and deep in purpose. I attribute this to Andy’s ability to coach and grow skills in others. Potentially the most powerful outcome was the seed of coaching Andy managed to plant and start within me. I highly recommend Andy as your coach. His process of evaluation and conversation on desired outcomes will lead you down the right path.

It's rare to find an individual that not only excels in technical and process management, but consistently inspires those around him to find joy, live their "truth", and be fully transparent. Andy is a daily example of working hard, having a positive attitude, and prioritizing those things in his life that matter most. I learned so much from Andy in our time together; namely creative problem solving, sequencing of complex, high volume work, and how to build trust and credibility with clients. He is a treasure!

I have had the luxury of working with Andy in a couple of capacities. The first time, he was an engineering manager who was a pleasure to work with. It was obvious that he cared about the engineers he managed. He did a great job of balancing skills with customer needs. The second time I worked with Andy, he was a Scrum Master and ICF Certified coach. He has an amazing story about clarity, staying alive (literally) and perseverance. Andy is one of the most 'ego-free' people I have ever met. He creates space for those around him to feel empowered while he also helps individuals get some clarity on big picture things. Every single interaction I have had with Andy shows grace, kindness and empathy. When Andy is around me, I just naturally want to up my own coaching game by being present, being focused and holding space for others. When Andy is around teams, he calmly, yet firmly embodies true servant leader characteristics. He is an amplifier, inspirational leader and all around wonderful guy!
