Andy began his passion for decorative water during college. “I recall there was a half-day session on water features and thought ‘there must be more to this’”. The uniqueness of moving water in the landscape, interacting with most of the senses has led him to continue the passion 15 years later. He enjoys experiencing all parts of the industry from maintenance and sales to animal health and new product creation. Andy’s current mission is to further the education and knowledge of water features and ponds. “Communication is the most important aspect of any industry; organizations such as IPPCA are poised to aid future communication and education,” he believes.
Andy currently resides at Franklin Electric running the Outdoor Living product and marketing group. He has written articles for numerous industry publications and always enjoys getting dirty out in the field on a build. The rest of the time Andy is a husband and father which he says is the best experience above all.
