Andy is a true American Success Story.

Andy was born in Vung Tau, Vietnam, on August 15, 1966. At the age of 14, in search of liberty, he escaped with his family from Vietnam on a small fishing boat. On August 26, 1981, he arrived in the U.S.A., settled in Covington, Kentucky and began his American Journey. This is why Andy often tells his close friends that he was born twice; both times in August.

In 1989, Andy was commissioned as an U.S. Army’s Reserve Officer. He graduated from the University of Kentucky in December of 1990 with a Bachelor of Arts in Management and continued to serve in the U.S. Army Reserve, Field Artillery, achieving the rank of 1st Lieutenant.

In 1992, Andy moved to Tarrant County, where he continues to reside. He worked as General Manager for a Fort Worth based distributor of telecom equipment, prior to starting his own company. Today he serves as President of AIT Technologies, LLC, a communications solutions provider for businesses, a company he founded in 1998.
