Biography

Andy is a fourth-generation CPA. He wasn’t pressured to be an accountant, so he’s pretty sure it’s just part of his genetic code. When he did choose this path, there was only one firm Andy wanted to work for: he joined JAK in 2003 right out of college. (Full disclosure: he had worked here part-time and seasonally since 1997, so he knew what he was getting into.)

As a partner at JAK, Andy gets to help clients within several industries solve problems and seize opportunities. From helping a contractor revamp an inefficient accounting system to assisting a retailer to outline a succession plan, no two days are alike. He’s honored to be the first person a client calls when he or she needs help—even if they simply need a sounding board for their ideas.

At home, Andy stays busy by keeping up with his two kids and following Minnesota sports teams. He likes to catch a movie and hack up a golf course every now and then, too.
