Andy brings a lifetime of experience, resilience, and heart to our mission. A U.S. Army veteran, Andy served as both a Heavy Wheeled Mechanic and a Heavy Equipment Operator. In 2003, he deployed to Iraq, leaving behind his wife and seven children. After sustaining injuries to his head, neck, and back, he was medically discharged in 2009. Since then, Andy has walked a long road, from construction and computer repair to discovering healing through outdoor programs. As a participant and volunteer with Project Healing Waters, he became skilled in fly tying and even took 3rd place in their national rod building competition. Now, he's bringing that same dedication and passion to Fields of Freedom, helping fellow veterans through outdoor therapy and support. We're honored to have him on the team.
