Hi, I'm Andrew.

That's me, Andrew.
I’m a small business operator, occasional writer, and Excel fanboy. I love steak, wine, football, and reading.

I try to live by the advice of legendary investor and billionaire Charlie Munger, who said:
"I constantly see people rise in life who are not the smartest, sometimes not even the most diligent, but they are learning machines. They go to bed every night a little wiser than they were when they got up, and boy, does that help, particularly when you have a long run ahead of you."
I want to be a learning machine, and I want to go to bed every night a little bit healthier, wealthier and wiser than when I woke up in the morning. I trust that over time, those small gains will compound into a good life.

That’s what I write about on this site — and that writing has been featured in Business Insider, Inc Magazine and the Huffington Post.
