Insurance Strategies
English
Originally from Baltimore, Maryland, Andrew was fortunate enough to experience two worlds that shape his perspective and calling for our work in the Financial Planning space. Primarily raised by a single working mother during the 1980’s and 90’s. Andrew can relate to the challenges faced by most working-class families and the difficulties that are imposed without proper guidance and financial management. Also, the world of an entrepreneur/business owner and its own unique set of challenges he saw from his father and the Defense Contracting Company he built. He has seen the less glamorous side that business owners face on a daily basis. The long hours, the economic pressures, and the necessity of care for those in your charge.
These two experiences shaped Andrew’s outlook on the possibilities of Recruiting, Developing, and Supporting Financial Service Professionals who work to empower their clients’ economic confidence with sound guidance and care.
Andrew attended Francis Marion University in Florence, South Carolina, where he majored in Political Science. Upon graduation, he moved to Charleston, SC. Instantly, he fell in love with the Lowcountry and the quality of life it provided. He started his career at New York Life in Charleston. It was there he met his partner, Alyse. After 5 years of both highs and lows, he and Alyse embarked on a new chapter together in NYC in 2010.
It was in March of 2023, that Andrew and Alyse decided “quality of life and time” with Logan (9) and Charlotte (4) was the priority. Andrew’s professional responsibilities in NYC required a schedule of out by 5am home by 8 or 9pm. It was not the memory he wanted his children to look back on when they think of their upbringing. They were blessed to make the decision in coming back to Charleston and while 13 years removed, being back has been incredibly natural!
Andrew’s learned philosophy is to meet people where they are, be the lever to someone’s potential not the lid, and grow Leaders through authentic relationship building. Andrew is incredibly grateful for each and every opportunity this noble profession has afforded him and his Family.
