Hello, I'm Andrew!When I was 27, I hiked the Pacific Crest Trail all the way from Mexico to Canada. I thought about quitting thousands of times along the way, but I didn't. Despite harsh conditions, never ending hunger, fatigue and loneliness, I kept marching forward. The trail taught me a lot about life. I learned that you cannot walk across the country in giant leaps. Rather, it was accomplished by roughly 6 million little steps. I witnessed how consistent hard work moves you over mountains.Years have passed, but I still carry those lessons with me. Today, I put that same mindset and tenacity to work as a Customer Service Manager at UTAK Laboratories. The mountains here may be different but I keep marching on. Prior to transitioning into medical devices I had a fulfilling career as an assistant manager of an outdoors outfitter where I got to share my skills, experience and passion for the outdoors with others. Whether you where off to Everest, heading to the rain forest, or doing a local hike on a weekend I love connecting with people and helping them have the best experience possible. It's with this same passion and drive that I now get to help laboratories find the best quality control material for their needs.I'm passionate about connecting with others to provide support. Whether you want to talk about your laboratories QC, get camping spot recommendations or discuss future projects I am only a few clicks away.
