Andy’s Words to Live By
Do you know what investing for the long run but listening to market news every day is like? It’s like a man walking up a big hill with a yo-yo and keeping his eyes fixed on the yo-yo instead of the hill.
Personal Pursuits
Andy loves being active outdoors with his wife, Caroline. It is his personal goal to summit all fifty-three of Colorado’s 14,000-foot peaks (and he is well on his way). Andy also plans to hike the John Muir Trail but, for now, he has the new joys of fatherhood to explore and enjoy.
