Andrew has been in the construction industry since he was 16 years old. After attending Sierra College and Missouri Baptist University, he worked at several companies until late 2017, when he started a commercial construction firm. Andrew enjoys the complexity of navigating business deals, working with and empowering employees, and building successful processes that maximize the company’s efficiency and helps employees’ roles be more sustainable. The company currently has 50 employees and operates in 47 states.
During his spare time, Andrew serves on the board of Brody International (www.brodyinternational.com), a non-profit that provides construction management services to other non-profits around the world.- Invest in and Empower our Teachers I had a wonderful experience in High School and teachers that made a huge impact on me. My Vietnam Vet history teacher was a storyteller and could make even the most boring subject riveting. My Mechanic Shop teacher would check up on grades in other classes and if you were struggling, you didn’t get to do shop. Instead, he would sit with you and work on the subject that you were struggling with. Because of my wonderful teachers I ended up taking AP classes and graduating with a 4.27 GPA. The teachers we entrust our kids with are special people that have devoted their lives to our children and we in turn should be empowering them for efficiency and success.
- Grow the Career Technical Education (CTE) Program The core subjects, English, math, science and social studies are imperative for a young person’s development, but I would argue that electives such as languages, music, culinary, agriculture, construction and welding are just as important. Not everyone is going to go to college, that’s just a fact. Only 39% of 18–24-year-olds in the U.S. are enrolled in college. Consequently 61% of students need to be prepared for life immediately after High School. I am a huge proponent of the CTE program in our district and would like to increase the CTE offerings.
- Create a standard for Excellence that makes Nevada County a great place to live California is currently ranked 37th in the nation for HS education, Bear River is ranked #905, Nevada Union is #1047 in the state - we are in the bottom 1/3rd of the nation. At BR and NU, only 68% and 41% of students respectively met or exceeded the standard for English Literacy and only 37% and 20% respectively met or exceeded the standard for Math. As proud Californians we cannot be okay with these numbers - we must strive for excellence and hold a high standard. We simply cannot be ok with the status quo; we must break the old school mold so future generations have the tools they need to succeed.
