Since his early college days, when he founded Painting Unlimited, a professional residential and commercial painting company, Andy has embraced the entrepreneurial spirit. A Green Bay native, he owned and operated his first company for nearly ten years prior to selling it and starting K maintenance, a commercial janitorial services company. After experiencing tremendous growth, Andy expanded the company by adding a commercial floor care division, and later a fire and water restoration division. This most recent entry, Recoveron, employs the latest technologies and processes in fire and water restoration as well as mold remediation. Because of his depth of knowledge, Andy is equally comfortable conversing with builders, environmental scientists, insurance agents and adjusters, healthcare professionals, and the like.

Andy is an avid outdoor sports enthusiast; you may find him bow hunting, kayaking, biking, windsurfing, fishing, wakeboarding, or simply kicking back and having a good time with his friends. He received a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire.
