George Andrews’s Summary

My background has involved a number of leadership positions and learning opportunities.

These leadership and learning opportunities began with a management position with Dominion Investments, LLC of Hudson, WI in 1993. As a General Manager I managed the training and supervision of a staff of 30-40 employees.

In 1999, I entered into service as a United States Marine and served as an Aviation Electrician and Collateral Duty Inspector until June of 2003 when I was Honorably discharged.

After my service in the Marine Corps I went back to school and completed two certificates, Object Oriented Programming and Simulation Programming, and one Associates Degree, IT Programmer/Analyst, at the Chippewa Valley Technical College.

I am now completing my Bachelor's Degree for a BS in Information and Communication Technologies at the University of Wisconsin - Stout campus.
