When I think good energy, I think of Andy Milligan. We connected through a marketing association and I knew he and I would stay in touch for future collaborations. Andy has a genuine curiosity and infectious positivity that makes him so easy (and fun) to work with. He's a talented storyteller and creative mind. I look forward to working together more; he's top-notch!
