Andrew and Anne have two daughters, Belinda and Catherine and reside in Sacramento, California. Andrew enjoys flying (he is pursuing his pilot’s license) and SCUBA diving as well as sports and politics. He played cricket with his local church team in Australia for 15 years and is a 10 year veteran of Australian Rules football…the best ball game in the world.

Andrew currently holds the Certified Business Intermediary (CBI) designation from the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA), the highest designation awarded by the IBBA. Andrew has also earned the Certified Business Broker (CBB) designation from the California Association of Business Brokers.
