Andy is an innovative engineer and a consummate leader. I had the pleasure of working with Andy to establish from scratch an engineering program, drafting program, and quality control program at three precast plants recently acquired by Oldcastle. Bringing these new programs up to Oldcastle standards was a very complicated process and required many difficult changes to how things had previously operated. Andy was proactive in checking in regularly to ensure things were on the right track, to offer guidance, and to ask how he could help. He personally developed very powerful engineering and quality control software tools for us to use, and he carefully listened to our feedback to tailor these tools for our particular needs. Most importantly, Andy provided a persistent and clearly articulated vision of how our programs should run, adapting for our local circumstances. Thanks to Andy’s help and wealth of experience we were able to achieve first-time NPCA certification.

I am grateful to have rubbed shoulders with Andy. He was a joy to work with and a model of the kind of engineer I aspire to be.
