Firm Leaders

Starting his career in marketing for Teledyne, Andy got bit by the public service bug and changed direction by becoming a Special Agent with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. Later, he was one of the charter members of the Office of Inspector General for the Tennessee Valley Authority. Today, he's returned to his roots and serves as the firm's 'company conscience'.
Andy researches issues, develops strategies and asks the tough questions of our clients. Because of his background, he not only knows what works, but more importantly, what doesn’t.
Andy is a graduate of Middle Tennessee State University and takes great pride in being an Eagle Scout.

You’ll often find Robin where the rubber meets the road. She’s a planner and a doer with our clients as well as within the community.

She enjoys relationships built over time throughout the region.
She’s been honored as a Chattanooga ‘Woman of Distinction’, Distinguished Service Award for her work in changing the culture of the Tennessee Human Rights Commission, and as ‘Outstanding Partner’ by the Partnership for Families Children and Adults.
She has co-chaired the leadership committee for the Mayor’s Women’s Council and has served on the executive committees of the Chattanooga Rotary Club, Children’s Advocacy Center, Chattanooga Chamber of Commerce, The Partnership for Families, Children and Adults.
