Anyone that knew Andy knew what a hard worker he was, starting out as young as 11 years old helping the janitor at Bowdoinham Community School.  When he got older, he loved working on Raymond Mayo’s farm in Bowdoinham.  He went on to work at Knapp Shoe in Lewiston, Etonic Shoe in Richmond, drove as a center liner for Pine State Safety Lines in Topsham, and worked as a foreman for Moore Painting in Brunswick before starting his own successful painting business in 1999, A.D.
