CGMA
COO
Andy’s personal motto is “Things can only get better!”.

Andy joined ATKG in March of 2022. He graduated from Abilene Christian University in 1989 with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting. He comes to our firm with experience in closely-held businesses, professional services, financial institutions, retail, and healthcare.

Andy lived in Dublin, Ireland, for 18 months when he was growing up. His bucket list trip would be to visit Ireland and Scotland with his wife to show her the country’s beauty and, of course, play some golf at St. Andrews Old Course or Carnoustie Golf Links. We hope he gets to visit soon, but until then, he can take some practice swings on our putting green at the office. On weekends you will find Andy smoking or grilling some kind of meat while relaxing in the pool with his wife, son, and friends.

One cause that Andy is passionate about is Veteran mental healthcare and wellness. This passion led him to start serving on the board for Endeavors, a non-profit that helps veterans and vulnerable people in crisis, in 2008. He remains on the board and is currently serving as the board treasurer and as a member of the Reach Resilience Foundation board.
