Boston University, plumbing career and founding Whole Home Solutions

Source-published biography

He attended Boston University (BFA ‘03) and spent the following seven years in New York City, returning South in 2010. After meeting his wife, Andrew left a successful career in the restaurant business and started over, at 32 years old, as a $10 an hour plumber’s helper, working his way up in the trades over the following 7 years. He started his company, Whole Home Solutions, in 2019 with nothing but his two hands, an old GMC Yukon, and the conviction that hard work, performed well and with integrity, would lead to success. Six years later, with 6 work trucks, and 7 tremendous employees, he holds tight to that same conviction.

Study in London and overseas work

Source-published biography

And I have journeyed: the better part of a year, over the course of my childhood, was spent in Europe visiting our Belgian grandmother. I lived half a year in Taiwan working as a stunt man in a Wild West Stunt show. I rode my bike to Somerville, MA. to sell Christmas trees at Ricky’s Flower Market every Christmas season, all four years while at Boston University. I spent a semester in London studying at London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts.

Law-school attendance, permaculture training and restaurant work

Source-published biography

After 7 years, I left NY to attend law school at the University of Alabama on scholarship, but quickly discovered that was not the right path for me. While completing a Permaculture design training program in California, I received and accepted an offer to help create and open the first FIVE restaurant in Tuscaloosa. We opened in January of 2011 and it is still thriving today. Still searching, I accepted an internship at Growing Power - in Milwaukee, WI - a community first urban farm located 1/2 mile from the largest housing project in the city. Upon completion, I returned South - to Birmingham to help open and run the second FIVE restaurant.

Return to Huntsville, entry into plumbing and marriage

Fourteen short months after our first date, Bethany and I wed in the sanctuary of First United Methodist Church on Greene Street.
