Andrew, founder of Tulip Valley Farms—a vibrant, immersive flower farm in the heart of Washington’s Skagit Valley. But Andrew’s path to farming is anything but traditional. From his early career as a U.S. Air Force intelligence officer to high-level roles at tech giants Amazon and Expedia, he’s built a career defined by bold pivots, community commitment, and strategic vision.Raised in Mount Vernon, Andrew returned home after years in the corporate world to invest in his roots—literally. With a law degree, MBA, and master’s in organizational leadership, he leveraged his diverse background to launch Tulip Valley Farms, a business now recognized nationally for its experiential approach to floriculture and farm tourism.He opens up about being colorblind and how he and his wife Holly—Tulip Valley’s self-appointed Chief Color Officer—have made it work. We also dive into the challenges of entrepreneurship, including his removal as CEO from a previous tulip venture and how that setback ignited the vision for something even greater.Andrew shares how Tulip Valley Farms blends agriculture, innovation, and storytelling to create authentic farm experiences—from U-pick tulip fields to hands-on events. With features in national media and honors from the World Tulip Summit, his farm is not just beautiful—it’s a blueprint for how agritourism can inspire, educate, and thrive. Want Farm4Profit Merch?
