Andrew grew up on a small acreage in southern Manitoba and was taught young about working hard
and taking pride in the work we do. He moved away from the province in his early 20’s but always came back to Manitoba. His love for the prairies and small town feeling in the city have always been a deep calling.

Andrew started his concrete career in 2007 with City Mix as a redi-mix driver. He worked in every role in the industry from batching, dispatch, plant supervisor to quality control throughout the years. He is currently working as Operations Manager for City Mix concrete in Winnipeg.
