“Early on in my career, I learned that people make decisions based on facts. This is especially true with business owners today. Time is everything with all the technology we have in our businesses. Facts are facts, even when they may involve delivering less than good news, business owners need facts in order to make timely decisions. If you understand this one piece of business, you will gain the respect and trust of your customers.
“I have always operated on the premise that everyone in the company provides value. Each position is important and a critical part of our total success. My father gave me a piece of advice early in my career and it is something that I continue to practice each day: We are all the same. We all want to be treated with respect and feel part of something. While in Europe preparing for a multinational presentation to foreign dignitaries and Generals my dad helped prepare and calm my nerves by reminding me that “you put your pants on the same way they do…one leg at a time.”
Andrew earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Forest Resource Management from Oregon State University in 1992. In his off time, he enjoys spending time with his family fishing, camping, attending sporting events, or seeing performing arts programs.
