Born in Liverpool, England. Grew up in Brown Deer, WI. After four years overseas in the Navy during the Vietnam war, I decided to get my college education. I was naturalized after I got out of the Navy. Three or four careers and 20 years later, I came away with AS, BS, and MS degrees in business. I currently reside in Hubertus, WI and am active in our local German Band, "River City Blaskapelle"

It was during my Master's degree program I realized I wanted/needed to teach. I wanted to give back to the business and academic communities I "grew up" in. It was a compliment to the many fine teachers who gave up their evenings after working in their discipline all day.

Retired now for 16 years, a former student, Maggie Mongan, honored me by allowing me to write a chapter for her book: "Brilliant Breakthroughs for the Small Business Owner - Vol. 2" In it, I distill management principles gleaned from nearly 30 years of Operations management and Teaching experience.

Kelly E. Andrew grew up on a farm in Wisconsin, before moving to her current hometown: Milwaukee. In 2013, after a decade in the non-profit sector, she pursued her lifelong entrepreneurial dream by founding Filament Communication.

Kelly’s mission, to help independent businesses grow, was inspired by her volunteer work with Local First Milwaukee. Here, she learned that strong local economies depend on the success of independent businesses. Kelly has invested in the independent business community by honing her own Internet marketing skills, and building a team of talented, growth-minded marketers.

When she’s not helping businesses shine online, Kelly enjoys hanging around with her rescue cats, cooking, reading, and riding her bike around the neighborhood. Taking a break at her parent’s farm rejuvenates her brain, and enjoying craft-cocktails with friends lifts her spirits.
