Andy has spent the past 25 years helping top brands, foundations, and individuals market themselves, primarily through live events and experiences. Currently, his greatest passion is to inspire a new vision for the event industry: one focused on sustainability, zero waste and integrating environmental and social impact at every brand touch point. He catered his first wedding at age 16 and went on to become a top event producer in New York City.

He was featured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal as America’s first “corporate concierge” for his groundbreaking work at PepsiCo. Notable clients include Disney, ABC Television, Good Housekeeping, JPMorgan Chase, ING, Victoria’s Secret, InStyle Magazine, Vogue, Vanity Fair and The Rolling Stone.

Andy is a passionate entrepreneur – authoring his own cookbook, co-hosting TV shows on Animal Planet, The Food Network, and Fine Living Network, and previously owning a 10-bedroom hotel and restaurant in Hudson, NY.

Most recently, Andy has hosted America’s Cup in Bermuda, Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation’s annual fundraiser in Sonoma, the World Cup Pro AM Ski Championship in Squaw Valley, a Beverly Hills based pre-Oscar Week environmental gala and recreated a mini Coachella on the Indio Polo Grounds for private group of 1,200 people.

Andy is a FYRE Festival survivor and is still bewildered (and appreciative!) by his rapid rise to Internet meme phenom. Currently Andy is touring the US, UK and parts of Europe talking FYRE, resilience, and sustainability.

He splits his time between the West Village and his farm in Chatham, NY with his faithful half-Lab, half-Great Dane, Thor.
