Andy began his career as a lawyer with a San Francisco area law firm. He left the practice of law in 1993 to join Albertsons Inc as an executive. In 2006 he and his seven management partners founded Albertsons LLC, with private equity backing, to acquire a portion of the struggling Albertsons Inc. grocery chain.
