His passion is for rising up under leaders to encourage and empower them to walk in the freedom that is only provided through knowing their own identity and feel the wind at their back that comes from people pushing them toward their mission and supporting them when they need a hand up.
To support a survivor-led team in the fight for freedom for overcomers is a tremendous privilege that he tackles with open hands and deep desire to learn
Andrew's career as a technology architect and passion to see captives set free have intersected in surprising ways and spanned multiple, seemingly unrelated arenas over the years. These have included creating custom solutions for the White House and National Security Council from 2001 into 2009 - first as an officer in the U.S. Air Force and then as a technology consultant with Hewlett Packard; taking his family traveling to live on the road full time and experiencing a variety of communities and environments across North America from 2009 to 2013 while founding and running multiple tech start-ups, which were oriented towards providing solutions to both regular businesses and non-profit organizations engaged in counter-trafficking; and since then settling in rural central Canada to start and serve a local home church while continuing to operate his businesses remotely.
In 2016 Andrew and his wife became aware of the horrors of ritual abuse and its intersection with trafficking, and they began learning firsthand about the profound effects of both atrocities on the human body/mind/spirit. Since then, they have been involved with direct ministry to survivors in a variety of capacities including home and family-based recovery and healing paradigms. Andrew carries a rare blend of deep technical expertise with extensive firsthand experience of both tragic human tolls but also incredible human triumphs in the fight against human trafficking.

Andrew is a Full Stack and Cloud Solutions Specialist with 20+ years designing and developing web based tools to equip and empower users to meet their business and personal goals. He partners with EVENforONE by architecting and building a new platform to connect victims of human trafficking to public service providers and ensure that survivors find the tools and help they need to not only survive, but to thrive with new hope.
In my free time I love to explore, learn and help people where I can. I feel that we need better tools to ensure that the marginalized are able to access the resources needed to change their narrative, giving them the opportunity for stability, dignity and hope. Technology is not a panacea, but with better information flow, we can do a better job being faithful to those that often fall through the cracks. I've heard it said that we count people because people count. To me, people count because they are made in God's image, wonderfully, intentionally and beautifully. I hope that these new tools and the teams that use them are about to help each person looking for hope, one day be able to say the same for themselves without shame or fear, but with confidence and boldness.
