About Me
Iām Andy,
and I help people do better.
A few years ago. I left my W-2 job and career in building materials sales & leadership to help people improve the performance of their real estate operations.
Little did I know that I would be starting a business just prior to the largest social and economic disruption in modern times.
I quickly found myself pivoting my business model and working with owners and executives in related industries to help them adapt to the new normal while preparing for the future.
Change is hard, but it's a necessary part of growth.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and again while expecting a different outcome.

About The TCO Methodā¢
I found the most growth in my MRO and building materials sales career learning from successful commercial multifamily operators and developers about how their businesses worked.
I made it my job to understand their operations so I could add value as a problem solver through the products and services I sold to become a part of their teams.
Over several years of working closely with owners and executives from dozens of companies operating across the U.S.,Ā I found patterns of common issues they dealt with daily that I had already seen addressed successfully by other operators.
I shared these ideas and solutions I’d been collecting for years in order to help my customers improve their performance while becoming a more valued resource for their operations and a trusted advisor.
I launched my consulting operation in 2019 after some prompting from an executive at one of my old commercial real estate development customers and started working with the real estate industry full-time.
I combined my supply chain experience with what my clients taught me about their procurement operations to create a solutions-based service that can help any multifamily operator deliver results.
Over the last several years, I developed frameworks for my clients that turned into The TCO Methodā¢, a strategy and decision making process that focuses on the Total Cost of Ownership for a project, property or portfolio.
The TCO Methodā¢ adds significant NOI to their assets, helps them hit compliance and sustainability goals, reduces overhead and operating costs, addresses risk management, and increases the functional life of their units without a reduction in labor headcount or deferring maintenance on their properties.
