MAY 2026 – though his passions don’t end at home construction, he’s also interested in other sectors. For example, he recently accepted a project management role for the development of a film studio in Mount Uniacke – the only film studio in Atlantic Canada – overseeing the conversion of an old horse barn into a full soundstage and movie set. “It’s a little out of my wheelhouse, but nothing my subcontractors can’t handle,” Andrew says. “Every day is a different challenge, and it’s a new exciting experience.” Beyond that project, Andrew and a partner are launching a clothing line – True North Workwear – aimed squarely at people in the trades – offering high-quality work apparel at prices that reflect the reality of what workers actually need. “The men and women who go to work every day in areas where their clothing is getting damaged and torn are currently expected to pay way too much for a decent shirt to wear on the job,” Andrew explains. “We’re going to offer higher quality work clothing than anyone else is offering right now, for lower prices than anyone else is offering right now.” That venture is the kind of bold, unexpected move that tends to surprise people – his own accountants and lawyers included. But for Andrew, it reflects the same instinct that has guided his entire career: identify a problem, bring the right people together, and build something better.
