Andy was brought up in a Christian home with parents who set a wonderful example for him to follow, so he has known the Lord all his life. After his studies and national service (as a chef in the SA navy) he started out his professional life with a career in food and restaurants. But in his late twenties he stumbled into a job as a software developer and found a hobby that folk were prepared to pay good money for. He loves his work and has developed software for many different businesses. He currently leads a team of developers writing software for insurance companies.

"The Lord has blessed me greatly throughout my life and instilled in me a servant heart and a desire to uplift people in my surroundings with the skills I have and the knowledge I have acquired."
