Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Andy’s earliest memories were going to church and playing baseball.  He dedicated his life to the Lord at the age of nine and has been a member of his current church – Grace Christian Fellowship - since age 11.  Andy has been an athlete from his youth and has always used sports as an opportunity to share his faith in Jesus Christ. 

 

    After graduating college in 2004, he seized the opportunity to combine his love of sports and faith in Christ, by travelling with an evangelistic ministry -The Strength Team - that used demonstrations of strength to help share the Gospel.  Since then, he has ministered in 46 states and 15 countries, building relationships with people from many Bible-believing denominations, preaching the Word of God, and showing the love of Christ. All this led to the birth of Elevate Ministries where he puts to action all he has learned over the years.

 

    Andy’s home church recognized his extensive experience and the evident calling on his life by ordaining him as an evangelist in 2013.  When home, he enjoys spending time with his wife – Dionna, and their two children – Nathan and Naomi.
