Andy brings fifteen years of technical leadership to the CivicActions team, helping clients in the non-profit and government sectors as well as Fortune 1000 corporations plan, development, and implement public websites, e-commerce systems, intranets and extranets.
Prior to joining CivicActions Andy spent six years in managerial roles as Vice President of Technology at SpireMedia and CTO at Creation Chamber – both interactive agencies in Denver. Before that he was one of the initial developers at Beatport and senior software engineer at interactive agencies iXL and Eagle River Interactive. In his career he has helped develop successful sites for non-profit, government, and socially-responsible clients including Rocky Mountain PBS, Denver Water, Denver Office of Economic Development, Howard Dean, Bonfils Blood Center, Denver Public Schools, and Silk Soymilk (Whitewave Foods) along with a host of corporate clients such as Denver Broncos, Colorado Rockies, Aspen Skiing Company, Steamboat, Mapquest, Thomson Learning, Apple Computer, Pioneer Electronics, and Budget Rent-a-car.
Andy believes that the first step in a journey determines the destination, and that one must apply equal amounts of passion, wisdom, creativity and effort to arrive at proper, simple and elegant solutions – both philosophies he applies to development projects. Andy is passionate about human and animal rights, mental health issues, and the power of positive consciousness. In his free time Andy is a progressive house DJ, enjoys cyclocross biking, and fosters Italian Greyhounds.
