This enables the Belong team to perform their day-to-day tasks and helps guide our strategic efforts. He also is responsible for all actuarial services. A graduate of Carthage College, Andrew and his family live in Grafton, WI  

What led you to this career or to Belong? 

I had my eye on healthcare actuarial for years prior to finding my first position in the field.  I pursued a career in healthcare because I feel healthcare finance and quality is one of the defining challenges and opportunities of our time, and I wanted to be part of the process of finding a solution. 

What kinds of activities energize you? 

Sports, really any sport.  I love to move and work on coordination, strength, and speed. I also like tree work and carpentry.  It is a feeling really. I just like swinging an axe and sawing and sanding and finishing.  I like holding wood in my hands.  In a way it makes me feel connected to my ancestors, using simple tools and working with a widely available resource.
