A graduate of Eastern Illinois University and an insurance professional since 2007, Andy started his insurance career at Country Financial in 2008 where he focused on Personal, Commercial & Life Insurance while running his own agency. After nine years at a captive carrier, he joined Concklin Insurance Agency in 2017 to continue to focus in these areas of insurance while being able to provide more choices and pricing to better fit customer preferences. In late 2019, Andy launched his own independent agency through the Concklin Insurance network called Chicagoland SIA.  Along with his insurance experience, Andy also served in the Iraq War in 2003 with Marine Wing Communications Squadron 48, providing communications support to Navy Fleet Hospital 3 in Southern Iraq. Andy is active with the BNI Key Referral Center, McHenry County Marine Corps League, VFW Fox River Post 4600, Cub Scouts Pack 350, and the Alumni Board of Phi Kappa Theta at Eastern Illinois University.
