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.
