about
Andrew Peek is a person. He’s a pretty decent guy and owes a lot of that to having great friends and family who allow him to immerse himself in an idea so deeply that he appears cut off from the world for a length of time. The people in his life know him well enough to understand that he cares more about people than ideas.
Andrew is a risky person. He graduated from a good school and a lot of people thought he would do great things. He didn’t. He decided instead to change what “great” meant to him. Since then, Andrew has adventured as attentively and recklessly as possible. Today he works intimately with companies that can look in the mirror and, with conviction, say they add value to the world. Having experienced varying degrees of success and failure from ventures past, Andrew has never been above doing what’s necessary in order to continue chasing the one idea that will make the others fly.
Andrew is a creative person. He really likes hanging out with kids since his head is often in the same place as theirs. He has a beautiful goddaughter named Jessica who is 5 years old. Andrew likes the zoo, pens, paper, and people who laugh embarrassingly hard when something is funny. One time he went to a nightclub, stood by himself with a notepad, and watched as people engaged in Discovery Channel-like behaviour. Only afterwards did it occur to him that this might be considered an odd thing to do. Andrew is not an ethnographer.
Andrew is however, a goofy person. He pokes fun at himself before he pokes fun at others. For example, Andrew is regretting writing this About section in the third person. Truth be told, it’s very disorientating. Andrew’s left foot is slightly pigeon-toed. He smiles really big despite a less than perfect grill. He’ll wear a hoodie and an overcoat and think that it counts as style. He Q-tips both his ears simultaneously in a circular motion. He is also incapable of that feeling people call “awkward.”
Andrew is a person who likes meeting new people. He’d really like to have a pint with folks like Seth Godin, Hugh MacLeod, James Hong, John Wood, Richard Branson, Jack Johnson, Paulo Coelho, and Ben Harper. Andrew says stuff like “Everybody puts their pants on the same way” and “Experience is practically currency, and when you consider the bigger picture, is worth far more.”

about
Someone who talks a lot, listens a lot, sings on the streets and loves big ideas. If you need a discipline or two for piece of mind, try Marketer and Entrepreneur. If you need a title to legitimize why you'd waste your time here, I can't help you. I work with people on fire for the businesses they love.
