He graduated from the Syracuse University School of Management in 1985 and joined Price Waterhouse & Co in Syracuse following his graduation. He was admitted to the partnership in 1996.
Andy's first PW success was helping to develop and lead a ground-breaking training program in Tampa, FL. More importantly, he met his future bride Dianne Burruss on this assignment, who also worked on the program. In 1998, Andy and Dianne transferred to Charlotte.
