Andy lives on a small farm in Decatur, TX with his wife, Amanda where they raised their 3 sons. The family left suburban life in Denton in 2010 to pursue their dream of living in the country. They had a rough start while trying to figure out how to corral Limousin cattle, but eventually got the hang of the farming thing. The farm currently has a pecan orchard, fruit orchards, large gardens, laying hens, and seasonally is home to pastured chickens and turkeys. The family has also bred and raised Nubian dairy goats and Barbados Blackbelly sheep. Raising sheep taught them to prefer cows. In November, 2020 Andy and Amanda joined a number of like-minded families in Wise County to found Wise County Conservatives, which quickly became one of the fastest-growing and most active grassroots organizations in North Texas. They also co-founded Trinity Conservative Coalition, with Mike and Marika Olcott of Parker County Conservatives, which currently connects 9 independent conservative groups across 8 counties to facilitate activism. Andy served as the Republican Caucus Chair for Senate District 12 at the 2022 State Convention. Amanda served as the Precinct 3 Chair and the Activism Chair for the Wise County Republican Party until Andy ran in the 2024 Primary. Andy and Amanda are active members of Denton County Conservative Coalition and participate in the coalition for Grassroots America, We the People.
