About Andrew Peters:

Andrew Peters is a sixth-generation farm kid, which he now believes is the essential qualification for virtually any professional endeavor. He spent the first year of his career selling life insurance in a city where he knew two people, one of whom did the same thing. He made $734 on the commission from the policy he sold himself, and then a co-worker took him under his wing long enough to solidify his conviction that he hated selling insurance.

One failed business and 4 successful exits later, Andrew is forever thankful for the winding road of relationships and entrepreneurial endeavors that have led him to his life's work.
