Ten-plus years mapping and untangling complex technical systems. Logan handles the integration side, which means the switch to BrightStar is something you approve rather than something you manage.

Andy brings over 35 years of retail leadership experience to the BrightStar Impact Network. Early in his career at The Home Depot, Andy worked directly under the leadership of founders Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank, where he learned the "inverted pyramid": the customer sits at the top of the hierarchy, not the CEO.

He also worked under Paul Raines, who taught that everything starts with the people: "Take care of your people, and they will take care of your customers." After 22 years at The Home Depot, Andy joined Floor & Decor under Tom Taylor, who carried forward the same customer-first attitude.

Andy brings this people-first philosophy to the BrightStar Impact Network, helping drive exceptional service, strong partnerships and meaningful impact for the organizations and communities the network serves.

04Community leadership

From day one, giving back to the community has been key to our plan.

BrightStar directly supports many local ministries, including:

  • Mercy Support Services
  • The Father's Heart
  • The Florida Striders
  • Seamark Ranch

Our primary focus is to expand the kingdom of God through compassionate, faith-based organizations that serve the least of these in our community.

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for man.
