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. A native Chattanoogan and tenth generation Tennesseean, Robin’s diverse career path began as a child abuse investigator, court administrator, congressional deputy chief of staff and partner in a statewide public affairs firm before opening the doors to the firm in January 2006. 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. Robin is the founder of the Hamilton County Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Program and also sits on the Chattanooga First Horizon Advisory Board.
She has served as chair of the Tennessee Human Rights Commission, member of the UTC Chancellor’s Roundtable and as vice chair of the Hamilton County Juvenile Court Commission.
When clients check their email for the first time in the morning, more often than not, there’s an email from Robin or a media link to information for their review. That’s just how she rolls.

A west Tennessee native, Kelsey chose Chattanooga as her home in 2014 after graduating from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. She found a niche (and expertise) at a hotel franchisee company where she pitched stories, created relevant collateral, and managed several dozen social media accounts for the company’s franchised hotels under various corporate umbrellas. She has accomplished herself as a communications professional with a demonstrated knowledge of broadcast and digital media, client relations, media relations, communications strategy, and event planning.
At the firm, Kelsey serves as a jack-of-all-trades for our clients, fulfilling their needs as they arise and planning for scenarios before they happen. From pitching stories, developing and implementing strategies, creating content and messaging, designing web and print collateral, managing social media campaigns, and analyzing data for future campaigns, Kelsey excels at thinking creatively and developing innovative strategies to assist our clients in achieving their goals. Kelsey makes sure that brand voices are authentic, communications are consistent, and deadlines are met.
Outside of the office, Kelsey enjoys cooking and binging the latest Bravo shows, as well as getting outdoors and going on walks with her husband and their beloved dog, Roman.
