Classification Talk: Andrew Face

Andrew Face

“I am blessed,” says Andrew. “I have a wonderful wife (Sue Truedell Face, wife of 15 years) and family (daughter, Marielle, 7-1/2 going on 18). Sue is a decorator and she is involved in the community. My extensive accounting and quantitative skills allow me to help out in her interior design endeavors.”
Andrew joined the BBRC last year in June and his classification is “Financial Consultant-Tax Exempt Organizations.”
“I enjoy helping to tutor at my daughter’s elementary school. I am known as ‘Chief Rain-in-the-Face’ for Indian Guides. Our family is beginning to ski and that’s been a blast. When it gets warmer, I golf.”
Andrew is a board member of St. Andrews Housing Group, a provider and developer of low-income housing. The group has about six properties and is an outreach of St. Andrews Lutheran Church. “Each year, our family hosts a Bridge dinner for about 50-60 developmentally disabled persons through our church.”
“I’m a consultant, mostly on vacation, interrupted by clients. Leora Consulting is a rag-tag bunch of folks who advise non-profits on strategic projects, schools, social service organizations, foundations, and several cities. One area in which we are active is school bond issues. The Tacoma School District is a client and just passed the largest bond issue in state history, thanks to us! Always looking for a referral.”
Andrew worked for Prudential Securities for five years and previous to that at Seattle NW Securities. He has a long history of working with school districts. “I also cut my teeth at Arthur Andersen where I learned document destruction skills.”
The crawl space of the Face house is storage for the family archives. He displayed a shirt from when he was on a Rotary team in Little League and an album cover showing Andrew in the Northwest Boys Choir. “I have a tile at the Pike Place Market that says ‘Sue, will you marry me?’ And, I won a BMW on KZOK and had to go to Germany to pick it up.”
Thanks, Andrew for your warm, fuzzy classification talk!
