As CHRO, Andrew dedicates his time to making ECI the best it can be in every aspect and works tirelessly to ensure employees are engaged and working in an optimal, enjoyable environment. His passion is utilizing the platform of HR to help employees build strong careers for themselves and, in return, better lives for their families.

ECI has been Certified as a Great Place to Work in 2017, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. In 2018, the International Business Awards recognized Andrew as HR Executive of the Year. That same year, his peers in the Dallas HR Association recognized him as Dallas HR Executive of the Year.
Andrew joined ECI in 2015 and has more than 35 years of experience in human resources. Before ECI, he served as Chief Human Resources Officer for Anthelio Healthcare in Dallas, Vice President of Human Resources for BerylHealth, and Senior Human Resources Business Partner to Bell Helicopter’s Engineering Division. In addition, while serving as the Senior Human Resource Manager, Andrew was part of the original launch team that brought Nokia Mobile Phones to the United States in 2005. In 2012, he co-authored the book SMILE GUIDE – Employee Perspectives on Culture, Loyalty and Profit.
Upon graduating from The University of Texas at Arlington, Andrew was named a White House Intern by President George H. W. Bush. During his time at The White House, he worked on the president’s Thousand Points of Light project. He is a past president of the Society for Human Resources Management’s Fort Worth Chapter. Andrew married his college sweetheart, Amy. They have two children, Chloe and Elijah, and one very spoiled rescue dog, Thomas. The family loves mountain hiking and exploring America’s national parks. His long-term goal is to retire from ECI (many years from now) and become a volunteer park ranger for the National Park Service.
