Why We Heart Them

Despite his good looks, he is not a model. But—with so many people crowding his extensive connections on LinkedIn, five-thousand plus friends on Facebook,  and nine-thousand plus followers on Twitter, Andy is Seattle’s local celebrity.

His love and talent for marketing has led him to accomplish great success at such a young age. He has worked with huge clients like Microsoft, Google and Ducati who rely on him to build their social media and online marketing strategies. This successful young businessman is on the path to great things and is already developing his third company. Being involved with pretty much anything and everything in Seattle’s hottest happenings and events, there is never a dull moment, Andy is dialed-in on the pulse of the city.

It is his constant motivation towards achievement and discovering the world that has led Andy to the top of the social media industry. He started his first company “Lush Life” as a networking tool merely out of his desire to experience his marketing skills. His adventurous spirit has driven him to establish his newest company, brandbuddee.com, where people can connect with brands all over the world.

Now, through his own company, he is on the cutting edge when it comes to working with some of the most talented professionals out there. Andy takes his marketing skills into the night to connect people with nightlife events, charities, fashion shows, and everything Seattle has to offer after the sun sets. This nightlife socialite is the mastermind behind the scenes creating all the buzz in the virtual world.

“Life is pointless unless you can share it with other people,” says Andy. He spends a considerable amount of time towards charity events and spreading awareness for various causes, and he hopes to see brandbuddee.com and his other venture, Whimzle, make an impact on the world of philanthropy.
