Andy Gries

Andy is like duct tape, he can be used in almost any situation to fix a problem or hold things together. He is very flexible and versatile, changing to adapt to whatever need arises. This unique ability has helped him in many of his endeavors.

• As a P.E and Health teacher for almost 10 years, he was able to switch gears quickly from teaching Kindergartners how to kick a ball to teaching 8th graders how to not kick a ball at someone’s face. (He also taught 7th graders how to juggle so he knows how to keep a lot of balls in the air.)
• As the Marketing/Website/Curriculum Development/Communications person at Community Marriage Builders, he used his “fix-it” skills to turn marriage crisis classes into marriage enrichment weekends.
• As a husband and father of three, he can bend and fold to become coach, teacher, counselor or adventurer with ease.

Andy has a passion to add value to people and organizations. He wants to see everyone succeed even if that means he has to be stretched or put in some sticky situations. He knows that being like duct tape isn’t always pretty but it gets the job done.
