“Over the years, Andrew has been a valued colleague. He shares a passion for revitalizing neighborhoods with housing and commercial services, thus creating growth and jobs in areas potentially overlooked by other developers. He also seeks to ensure a healthy complement of minority and women owned contractors in his projects, empowering and sustaining a broad cross section of local firms. At the same time, he is a tenacious yet ethical business person who keeps his eye constantly on the bottom line. Andrew is also willing to share his expertise, having mentored other young developers and investors. I always enjoy sharing conceptual projects with him to get his feedback and his observations are always spot on.”
— John Swanson, Beirut Properties
“Andrew first walked through our doors in 2008 as a young student with a lot of questions about development. We have shared in Andrew’s growth and his ability to identify opportunities, organize concepts and bring people around to a shared vision. Andrew has continued to develop his skills and is contributing to making Portland a better place.
He is not only a solid addition to our development community, but he is someone we enjoy spending time with and sharing ideas and current events.”
