Andy started his career at Signetics in Sunnyvale, CA in sales and marketing. He then served as a National Technical Sales Manager, for many local distribution companies in AZ including: Anthem/Arrow, Insight/Memec, Avnet and Falcon Electronics. He served his local community by coaching his son and daughter's sports teams; he was on his neighborhood's HOA, serving on the Architectural Committee for 18 years. He actively supported the Highland High School Band Boosters and was a proud member of the Santa Clara Vanguard Drum and Bugle Corps. He was a huge fan of the San Francisco 49ers, SF Giants, the AZ Diamondbacks and NASCAR. Following these sports was a true hobby. He enjoyed camping, bowling and especially Las Vegas where he played many an hour of blackjack. He always worked on projects at home and loved spending time with his family.
