FOUNDER, CEO

Andy is driven by purpose and works to find the simplest solutions to complex problem sets. Most recently, Andy served as President of a philanthropic advisory firm based in Colorado Springs, CO.  Before that, he served as President of a private wealth management firm that serves high net worth clients with traditional and alternative investments. He has also led a private operating foundation whose mandate was to launch equitable business ventures in emerging markets that possess the potential for independent viability while clearly benefiting the community in which they operate.

In his work with the foundation fund, Andy was instrumental in starting and operating businesses in India, Gambia, Iraq, and Sudan. Working with companies both domestic and overseas, Andy’s ability to provide clarity and execute thoughtful strategies has given him the perspective he brings to Lovewell.

What sometimes feels like a lifetime ago, Andy met his wife Elyssa while serving on leadership of Liberty in North Korea, a grassroots organization that rescues and resettles North Korean refugees.  Andy has been honored to serve on the board of several organizations including Kindred Image (The Dropbox film) and KSDK Channel 5 NBC.

A native Los Angeleno, and an adopted son of St. Louis, Andy and his wife are having fun raising their three young children.  Out of the office, Andy enjoys being with his family, fly fishing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, working on classic cars, and eating good food with better company.
