After studying economics at Colby College in Maine, Andy started his career working in finance for Cambridge Associates in Boston. He then moved to California and worked as a product manager in a small sunglass company in San Luis Obispo, earned his MBA from U.C. Berkeley and spent several years working in strategic planning for Levi Strauss & Company in San Francisco.

His love for the central coast and the importance of the family business ended up being the catalyst for joining the team. Outside of work Andy bikes, climbs, wears puffy vests and old raggedy New Balance shoes to Winemaker dinners, cooks and spends time at home with his four year-old daughter Cora (a.k.a. the official wine sniffer).
