Born in Piqua, Ohio. Andrew was a marketing major at Bowling Green State University (BGSU) and later graduated from Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio in 2004 with a degree in Economics.
Andrew moved to Indianapolis in 2005 where he met his future wife Jaime shortly after. They married in 2009, and welcomed their first son in 2011. They later moved to Maricopa, Az in 2014 due to a job transfer.
Working for years behind a desk in the mortgage servicing industry, gaining weight, Andrew had finally, had enough.
In 2019, Andrew set out on a goal to lose 50lbs. Along the way he subscribed to positive podcasts and started listening to Gary Vaynerchuk, Sam Parr, and Andy Frisella and found a new outlook on life that involved giving back. He ultimately hit the goal of losing 50lbs and decided to lose another 20 lbs which he also hit. In total he dropped from 271lbs to 195lbs in under a year.
Late December of 2019, Andrew found a post by a newly widowed woman who needed help with her weeds. He made an offer to spray her weeds for free. She accepted, and within a week he had DMs from a few people asking for help with their weeds and offering to pay.
He quickly set up and founded Just Weeds LLC. Just Weeds operated for 2 years spraying weeds.
Then came The Great Pandemic of Covid 19. The weed spraying business dried up. Between the Pandemic and the drought of 2020, there weren't many weeds to spray. But, Andrew noticed one thing about the yards he was spraying...
Nearly everyone had junk behind their back gate.
In April of 2020 the Covid Shutdown hit full effect. Andrew transitioned from working in an office in Chandler to working from a spare bedroom from home. There weren't many weeds to spray on the weekend, but if he had a trailer, he could remove the junk people had hidden behind their gates.
In an effort to continue helping others, he used the last of the money in the Just Weeds account to purchase a 5x10 utility trailer and started Just Haul It LLC with just $1,500.
Andrew reinvested every dollar into Just Haul It and in 2021 he sold the 5x10 trailer and borrowed to buy our current 7x16 trailer. Unfortunately, the truck he had couldn't pull it and he had to go further in debt with a stronger truck.
Every dollar is still going back into the company and in March 2023 we were able to add a Dump Trailer to the fleet. Then, in June 2023, Andrew went full time into the junk removal business by making it his only job. Jaime manages the phones and quote requests, while Andrew drives the truck and completes the work with the occasional help of our son's and Andrew's father, Dan.
Andrew and the family are fully invested in our future in Maricopa, and we love the support of the community and hope to grow into a company that serves and gives back, to the entire state.
The original company name of the company was Junk Tug, but that's too long of a story for the interwebs. Let's just leave it at, the wife didn't like the name, nor the marketing campaign behind it.
But, since he'd already purchased the domain, here we are on www.junktug.com.
We love our customers, so feel free to schedule a junk removal to meet Andrew in person.
