Here Are Some of the Questions We Ask Andrew:

  • Can you tell our audience about yourself and what you do daily?
  • Getting to know key individuals and the purpose for buying out small companies is part of the acquisition process, but does it bring about its unique challenges?
  • The land development realm is highly diverse and it is difficult to change the way people are taught to do things. Is it good to be open to change and not have the way you do things set in stone?
  • You are responsible for client service and business development across many different offices. How do you manage and ensure consistent project quality across these offices and is there any technology you use to assist with quality control?
  • Do you always go back to your first document in a project?
  • With business development comes reputation. As a vice president, what systems have you implemented over the years for CAD standards or expectations?
  • What advice would you have for someone working toward becoming a “vice president” for a company?
  • What is the best way to connect with you should someone want to get in touch or learn more about what you are doing in your career?
