Andrew’s Reading List

Continuous learning is a value of mine and reading books is a great way to acomplish that. I’ve always appreciated companies I’ve worked for that also held to the same creed…and lived up to it. I’ve even been inspired to buy a handful of books for new hires on my team.

This is a working list of books that have been influential in my life and career. I will never stop learning.
