Since 2003 Andy and his wife, Jessica, along with their 4 daughters have called Ankeny home.

“It means a lot to hear from families who’ve been able to watch their kids compete from afar. That’s exactly why I wanted to support this—so no one has to miss those moments.”
Real estate has always been about more than transactions for me—it’s about investing in the community I call home. Supporting Ankeny athletics is one of the ways I get to give back to the families who make this such a special place to live."

"The Ankeny Activities Network has been the online streaming platform for Ankeny High School Athletic events for the past few years and is run by GirlDad Media. This has raised the profile of our athletes and programs at Ankeny High School and Centennial Digital has done the same for Centennial High School. The GirlDad Media company researches the teams and players to best present them to the public while family and friends have the opportunity to watch our student-athletes from across the country. We are fortunate to have partnered with GirDad Media and look forward to continuing to work for the best programming for our kids. "
