Andrew splits his time between real estate and the administration of PCF Development. On the real estate side Andrew's responsibilities include all pre-construction activities such as property and funding acquisition, grant writing, zoning approvals, working with architects & engineers, etc and assembling LIHTC deals.

Working to transform distressed communities is incredibly hard work but seeing new housing go up, families push their strollers down the sidewalk and former crime hot spots turn into places to live and work makes it easy to come to work every day.
