Read more below to learn more about Andrew!
Q: What’s the last show you binge-watched?
A: “60 Days In” on Netflix. Docuseries on Alabama’s own Etowah County jail and its flaws. Undercover “criminals” go in as inmates to get the inside scoop on what’s going on in jail. Highly recommend it!
Q: Is there a product you can’t live without?
A: As a parent, Disney+ subscription. Also as a parent, my Nespresso machine.
Q: What’s your ideal weekend in Birmingham?
A: Saturday morning play golf, meet my wife and boys (aged 5 and almost 3) at the pool or for lunch. We would then have grandparents or a babysitter come, and we would go have a drink somewhere like Cayo Coco followed by dinner. So many great restaurants from which to choose! Sunday, tune into the NFL red zone channel on our porch while supervising the kids. Inevitably, a kid’s birthday party is sprinkled in there somewhere.
Q: In addition to your job title, tell us a little bit about what you do / what your company does.
A: I recently joined a startup called WineView in a sales and account management role. We provide restaurants with an innovative tool that helps them save time on their wine program, increase revenues, and delight guests. We do this through an app that allows even the most novice server to learn the restaurant’s wine list and make pairing recommendations on Day 1. We have created a sophisticated algorithm that matches wines from a restaurant’s list to its menu items. The app displays the top three wine recommendations varying in price point for each menu item. My job is to sell this technology including custom training tools to restaurants. There is a free version for consumers, so check it out!
Q: What is your favorite thing about Forge?
A: As someone who does not have a dedicated office, I can still find a quiet or private place to take phone calls. Honorable mention: proximity to the food hall.
