Andy's Bio

For the last 26 years, I've had the honor of sharing my mountain lion attack story, Lion King Ministries, lionkingministries.com, across the globe to hundreds of thousands. Including Animal Planet, A&E Biography, Dave Ramsey, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Larry King, Oprah Winfrey, TBN Network, U.S. Air Force, Youth for Christ, hundreds of churches, events, schools, businesses, and many other organizations. My message: never give up, believe in yourself, and grab onto the peace and joy we have in our Savior Jesus Christ! As a deacon and helping lead the youth for so many years at our church, my beautiful wife, Cortney, and I also lead a successful college-aged volleyball ministry. Other churches have also reached out to us to help reach this important age group for Christ. Cortney and I have been married for 23 years with two amazing grown children. My daughter, Riley, is a licensed Vet Tech working mostly with the surgeons in the ICU. My son, Jaden, is a realtor, like his mom and dad, helping to run a team in Tennessee. It is truly a joy as a dad to serve as a family in the church and community in helping and inspiring others.

Stay humble, giving God all the glory!
