Mike Peters

Spanish Peaks Community Foundation

“Andy is an INCREDIBLE fundraising trainer. I watched him take a room of board members from frowning and skeptical, to a smiling group of committed fundraisers.”

Ted LeBow

Kitchen Table Consultants

”You taught us to use personal stories and thank people for everything they do. I have gone way outside my comfort zone and have done many ‘asks’ — and have actually gotten very comfortable doing them. Our success is directly related to what you taught us. Thanks for the inspiration!”

Lisa Hanigan

Summit Schools

”You have a great ability to challenge and push, but in such a kind way that is always from the heart. I admire your energy, total commitment to the participants, and your role as a supportive team member.”

Peter Lane

Institute for Conservation Leadership

”You have a special gift that I haven’t seen in many people. You are very diplomatic and yet you don’t let things pass, you’re a mirror, people see but are not threatened, and all leave feeling with a sense of accomplishment and common purpose.” 

Cathy Jerbic

Appalachia Ohio Alliance

”I’m a ‘lifer’ in the world of development, yet your training offered more concrete tools and examples than most of the rest of the workshops I’ve attended put together.” 

Michelle Howard

Wilderness Youth Project

”In our strategic planning process, Andy was more than a consultant; he was coach, booster, and alchemist. Our plan is not shelf art — it’s a relevant, dynamic and motivating call to action that we use every day.”

Karen Knudsen

Clark Fork Coalition

“You gave us an incredible amount of interesting, inspiring, and helpful information. You helped me grow immeasurably in my confidence to speak about this work with my colleagues and board.”
