Andy is a resilient survivor and inspirational author who has overcome numerous life-altering challenges—a victim of childhood sexual abuse and bullying, the loss of his mother at an early age, and the eventual estrangement from his father, his battle with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, and the loss of his youngest son to suicide.

Despite enduring multiple surgeries, grueling chemotherapy treatments, and the tragic loss of his youngest child, he has demonstrated remarkable strength and perseverance, developed a deep understanding of resilience, and knows firsthand what it takes to overcome monumental challenges.

His book Overcoming Life’s Toughest Setbacks shares the principles that have helped him navigate life’s darkest moments, offering hope and guidance to others facing adversity.

During our conversation, Andy opens up about the single most powerful influence that shaped his life, how EMDR therapy helped him heal deep emotional wounds, and the curious, compassionate physician who helped him navigate chemotherapy with fewer side effects. He also shares the core beliefs that carried him through his darkest moments, how he’s coping with the unimaginable loss of his youngest son, and the message he wants to offer anyone feeling stuck in their own life challenges.
