A former covert CIA intelligence officer and decorated U.S. Air Force combat veteran, Andrew brings a unique blend of experience, insight, and presence to every stage he steps on.

Andrew began his career as a Commissioned Officer in the U.S. Air Force, where he was quickly recognised for his leadership capabilities. He was hand-selected to oversee nuclear missile operations at Malmstrom Air Force Base and later managed multi-agency joint exercises in his role as a Junior Officer. His performance and potential earned him a place in the CIA’s elite training programme, where he became a covert operations officer. Working in some of the world’s most volatile environments, Andrew developed an exceptional skill set in human behaviour, persuasion, and operational leadership—skills he would later translate into the business and personal development world.
In recent years, Andrew has become an influential voice in corporate consultancy and public education. He is the Founder of EverydaySpy, a globally recognised platform that teaches spy-inspired tools for personal and professional success.
