EARLY LIFE & EDUCATION
Born at the cusp of winter chill in the northern midwest, Andy would be whisked away to be raised in the Washington outskirts of Portland, Oregon. Deep farmland at the time, it was a relatively solitary childhood that formed his insatiable desire to lean into his passions and find a connectedness within.
Music has always been a part of his life, inspired initially from his paternal grandfather, who had played in jazz bands and orchestras on the side. Andy followed his footsteps, becoming a saxophonist during his formative years. However, it he was geared more toward the appreciation of music, which is where he honed his craft and found his true passion.
Andy graduated from Washington State University with a BA in Communication (2004) and Masters in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing (2006).
CULTIVATING PASSION
Andy has been obsessed with discovering music and sharing his discoveries with others for as long as he can remember. Always the advocate (a true INFJ), he is wired to give more than he takes. This is a core value, and something he leans into day in and day out.
Likewise, he has an insatiable desire to learn and grow. From leaning into self-work to building a wide range of knowledge surrounding his various passions to developing skills to master his many crafts, it never ends. When he’s not geeking out over good graphic design or diving deep into marketing analytics or data analysis, you can find him delving into one of his many passions.

CAREER
In 2003, Andy entered the professional world with a brief stint in PR at Strategies 360 before returning to WSU to get his master’s degree. After graduating with his MBA, he worked at Seattle’s 206, Inc., working with clients like Toyota and Urban Outfitters before joining branding and marketing agency BrandQuery in Mount Vernon, WA.
From there, Andy led the marketing department at Lights For All Occasions before joining the management team at a Harley-Davidson dealership. After a break from Marketing during the pandemic after a move to Texas, during which he worked for county government, Andy landed a gig with Linda McKissack and Keller Williams where, as Marketing Director, he works on a variety of projects parallel to real estate and online education.
Andy is adept at digital strategy, campaign development, and out-of-the-box thinking. With an equally paired left and right brain, Andy has a keen eye for both good design and data analysis. You are just as apt to find him creating eye-catching graphics in Canva as you are strategizing list growth strategies.
SIDE HUSTLES & PASSION PROJECTS
Andy dips his toes into a variety of side hustles. After joining the independent college radio station KZUU in Pullman in 2005, he found true passion in sharing the music he loves with a wide audience. Upon graduating, he launched FensePost as a music blog to continue sharing the music he loves.
Fast forward to today and Andy owns FensePost Media, LLC which includes a variety of projects, from recruiting for Keller Williams and coaching other agents on how to best leverage Profit Share Sites, to continuing his love of championing his favorite musicians and bands.
In the fall of 2022, Andy went all in on YouTube, transitioning a decade-and-a-half of written online content into scripting, filming, and producing video content on YouTube under the FensePost Vinyl Channel.
He is currently working to get his real estate sales agent license in the state of Texas with plans to be licensed by early 2024.
FENSEPOST VINYL CHANNEL
From deep dives into album history and album artwork to new album reviews, countdowns to vinyl collector tips, Andy has honed his camera-facing presence over the past few years. New videos go live on Thursdays and Sundays!

Founded in 2006, Andy rarely pens new written articles on the blog. But there is no shortage of content here, having crafted thousands of articles, reviews, and more, spanning over a decade of content creation!
REAL ESTATE RECRUITING
In the fall of 2021, I joined Keller Williams, working with Linda McKissack. I help manage a community we've built around KW Profit Share training and coaching. I take advantage of the products we offer through my recruiting site.
PROFIT SHARE PREMIUM SUPPORT

PERSONAL LIFE
In 2007, Andy married his wife (who is also named Andi*), and they live in the DFW metroplex with Waffles, a quirky little Dedvon Rex cat.
Andy strives to live a healthy and active lifestyle. His love of cycling has seen him log thousands of miles each year on his 2020 Specialized road bike, hitting the vast trails throughout the metroxplex for lengthy bike rides while listening to podcasts and audiobooks around personal growth, musician autobiographies, and entrepreneurship.
