The picture is me when I was 18. It was taken on top of a mountain I climbed just outside of Banff, Alberta. I stopped there when I was driving to Alaska to spend the summer working at radio station KICY in Nome.

I was very rebellious as a teenager, and at age 16 I ran away from home three times. The most important event in my life happened on my third runaway escapade. I met a group of teenagers from Youth for Christ. From them I learned that I could have a personal relationship with Jesus. After watching them closely and listening to their message, I too received Christ as my Savior. He changed my life immediately. A week later I returned home as a new creature in Christ, and I went back to finish high school.

i was a senior in high school when I got my first radio job on the air. I went to work as an announcer for WMUZ in Detroit. I then spent several years in broadcasting as a DJ, a talkshow host, Bible teacher, and even as an on-the-air soloist. I was probably one of the youngest major market talk show hosts in the country when I was doing a daily talk show in Detroit at age 20.

I left broadcasting to enter the ministry, studying at Moody Bible Institute and William Tyndale College (Detroit Bible College). I planted churches in Louisiana and Canada. I have also pastored in Michigan and California

A number of years ago I became very successful in a network marketing business with AmeriPlan and became one of the company's top reps in California. The owners decided they didn't want to pay us any more, so they fired 900 of us without cause on Valentine's Day, 2011.

I wrote the book, How to Be a Network Marketing Millionaire. ,which became a bestseller within a few months – #9 in its category on Amazon. I have written a total of 3 books so far. I've also helped 3 new authors write their first books.

Although I an involved in a great network marketing company today, the most important work of my life is just starting. I am writing a book, How Your Church Can Change the World, and I am starting a nonprofit organization called The Andrew Effect. The purpose of the organization is to help local churches equip their members to share the Gospel in their local communities..

Making money is great, but the most important thing in life is following Jesus and to bringing others to know Him too.
