BIO:

Andy is the founder and president of the Deep In The Heart Leadership Group. The Deep in the Heart Leadership Group enables leaders to influence their organizations more powerfully and purposefully through leadership speeches, workshops, retreats, intensives and coaching. His work also gives him the flexibility to minister to the Body of Christ through church gatherings, men’s retreats, marriage conferences and family camps. Andy earned a Master of Divinity from Western Seminary and a Doctor of Ministry from Phoenix Seminary, where he taught in the area of personal spiritual development and ethics. For the last several years, Andy has worked in the marketplace as a conference speaker and corporate trainer.

According to Andy, he is one of those “lucky guys who married way over his head;” he recently celebrated 26 years of marriage to his bride Lynn by realizing “the secret to a long marriage has been to keep her so totally confused she still hasn’t figured out what she got herself into!” Andy, Lynn and their teenage daughter Drew moved to the beautiful hill country of central Texas in 1999, where they eagerly don their cowboy hats and boots to eat at Rudy’s BBQ every Sunday after church. Indeed, while Andy grew up on the south side of Chicago and spent many years in Phoenix, he now proudly calls himself both a born-again Christian and a born-again Texan!

Andy’s background includes church ministry, teaching, and serving with a Christian leadership development organization. He is a gifted communicator whose transparency, graciousness and humor help him touch people’s hearts with the truths of God’s heart.
