About My Guest

Andy had a long, successful 40+ year career working across a variety of roles for one of the big American banks. 5 years ago, Andy wanted to get his affairs in order to eventually retire from the bank. However, this first venture into retirement planning caused more questions than answers. Andy has been retired just over 12 months and now sees himself as a Music Discoverer! As well as his love of music, he enjoys fine art and cooking.
