Andy was a major shareholder of Aspen and served as Chairman for nine years. During this time, Aspen experienced significant growth and change. Andy was an active partner in all major decisions, helping to establish many of the foundations of the Company’s growth strategy, and was a valuable contributor to our long term success.

I have had the pleasure of working with Andy consistently over the past three years. Regardless of the challenges we faced, Andy’s consistent thoughtfulness and keen insights were key to moving towards our objectives. It’s rare to find a such a solid partner.

As Chairman of EM-Assist’s Board of Directors, Andy has proven to be a trusted partner who has had meaningful positive impact on the business. His inquisitive nature, broad perspective, thoughtful approach, and even-keeled temperament have set the right tone as we have professionalized and grown the business, and Andy’s insights have added clear value to our corporate vision and strategy.

Andy thoughtfully applied lessons from prior industry experience in unique ways based on our specific business. By relentlessly focusing on differentiating our business model, he helped us integrate a wide range of relevant issues into a cohesive strategy. Andy engaged at a strategic and detailed level as the situation warranted. Andy leveraged his prior experience to help us see the buyer’s perspective, which contributed immensely in preparing the business for a very successful sale to a strategic buyer. I enjoyed working with Andy as a Board member, advisor and mentor.
