Andy Ashworth went from a high school athlete in Brooklyn, Michigan to a Certified Financial Planner and President of Sunrise Rotary.
 
Growing up in Brooklyn (best known for its racetrack), Andy thought that his future would be in the business his family owned.  In the meantime he participated in football, baseball and in track, placing second in the state in pole vaulting.  When the family business was sold, Andy adjusted his career goals.  He was accepted at Michigan State, graduated and became a financial adviser.
 
In 2004 Andy moved to Traverse City (with wife Kara) and started selling financial plans, originally to the Traverse City schools.  When a change in policy at TCAPS made that impossible, he began selling plans at other schools in northwestern Michigan.  He became a Charter Life Underwriter in 2009 and then a Certified Financial Planner. 
 
Andy's hobbies include fishing , hunting and editing videos.  He is an avid runner, having completed five marathons.  He also has distinguished himself at Sunrise Rotary, running our CHOICES program (among other things) and serving as Club President.
