Joining the Mētis team in 2016 as a founding owner, Andy works as a “bags-on” Project Manager who is comfortable on projects of all types, sizes and budget ranges. Andy brings a positive attitude to the jobsite every day and he excels at fostering good relationships with clients, subcontractors and co-workers. He prides himself on attention to detail on all aspects of a project; from schedules and budgets to custom cabinetry.
