He first came into contact with Autism Empowerment in September of 2015 and fell in love with what the nonprofit was doing for others and making a difference in the lives of others, and helping encourage others to keep going. Andy identifies very much with the difference, constantly working to help make a positive difference in someone’s life. If it’s the slightest word that he said that makes someone think, “I got this, I can keep going,” Andy knows he is doing his job.

Andy currently works for Federal Express. Andy is also a regular volunteer with the American Red Cross as a Disaster Services Volunteer. He serves as a Disaster Action Team member (DAT) responding to assist people when local disasters displace people from their homes.
