As a dedicated family man and passionate patriot, Andy saw the need for financial management education for his sailors and crafted a powerful seminar for Patrol Squadron Sixteen and Naval Air Station Jacksonville in 1993. His common sense approach to everyday finances proved so effective, he was asked by the Secretary of the Navy’s office to speak at the launching the of the Navy’s “Personal Financial Management Program” on C-Span live (pictured below). He also testified before the U.S. Senate Military Benefits Committee on the effect that personal finance has on "families and combat readiness."
Andy was well respected by his sailors and is still requested to speak at many navy functions. His seminars had a profound affect on the attitudes and performance of his last command Patrol Squadron Thirty in 1999. By far the most powerful aspect
of Captain Andersen’s message is the importance and wide ranging
impact that “life
management and adding joy to your life”
has on both individuals and organizations. Due to years of
requests from a large variety of audiences, Andy offers this
message to any group interested in reevaluating their
perspective on business and life. Never forget,
people are the lifeblood of your
organization … not until they share a common passion
and joy for life, will you begin to realize your true potential!
