Fully Committed

Andi Barney semi-retired as a professional technician and closed her shop after 15 years of service so that she could teach her service and restoration skills virtually.

Andi's commitment is to first, make sure as many people as possible are self-sufficient and can service their machines like a professional.  Second, help folks service their communities by volunteering their services or starting side or retirement income businesses.  And third, help those with traditional income barriers to provide a stream of revenue for themselves.

Andi is located in St. Louis, Missouri, but only teaches programs virtually at this time.
