He is the founder and director of H.O.P.E. Ministries in Candler, North Carolina. While the ministry primarily serves as a food outreach, it also provides backpacks, Easter baskets, and Christmas shoebox gifts to crisis pregnancy centers, domestic violence shelters, schools, government agencies, and other ministries serving families in need.

​
A born-again Christian and former Independent Missionary Baptist pastor, Andy is passionate about sharing the hope of Jesus Christ through both his ministry and his writing. When he's not writing or serving others, Andy enjoys driving, encouraging people, and finding opportunities to bring laughter into everyday life. He takes his faith, his family, and serving others seriously—but never himself. An eternal optimist with a contagious sense of humor, Andy believes life is too short to dwell on negativity. He readily laughs at his own mistakes and hopes to leave everyone he meets feeling a little lighter, a little more encouraged, and a little closer to Christ. His debut book launched 12/2/2025.
