This helped fuel his passion for advocacy for inclusivity. His personal mission is to foster change by creating spaces where dialogue, understanding, and love can flourish. He believes that art has the unique ability to spark conversations that lead to community-building, which aligns perfectly with SFGMC’s mission.
Andrew’s current volunteer roles include Treasurer of Urban Roots, a nonprofit focused on garden-based education to transform communities, and Secretary of the Estate Planning Council. Professionally, he has spent nearly a decade working in trust and estates services. Presently, he is a Fiduciary Advisor at Whittier Trust Company, where he helps families navigate complex fiduciary and estate matters, with a particular passion on legacy planning through creative philanthropic and estate planning solutions. This expertise in strategic giving aligns with SFGMC’s goals of building lasting relationships that will help ensure financial sustainability, which can allow the organization to focus on creating extraordinary music and experiences that build community, inspire activism, and foster compassion at home and around the world.
