also known as Andrew Magwood
I help people solve problems that matter to them, and make a difference every day.
Along with being an advocate for my client, I am in a unique position to be a counselor as well and provide direction and advice for the future.
I am married to Rachelle, and we have two great kids, and four wonderful grandchildren. We like to get outdoors and enjoy snowboarding, hiking and archery. We no longer have any pets, but have had several cats and one dog.
