New Member Induction
We are excited to welcome Andy Ramsey to our club! Andy Ramsey is a banking officer at ANB Bank. He is originally from Olathe, KS. After finishing high school at Olathe East, Andy headed south for college and attended Auburn University. Despite himself, he earned a BS in Hospitality Management and moved to Atlanta to start in the restaurant industry. After a brief stay in Atlanta, he worked for the Boy Scouts of America in rural Alabama and Georgia before finally returning to the elysian fields of Kansas City. Andy now happily works in ANB Bank’s lending department. When not working, Andy focuses on wrapping up a Masters degree and, on occasions all too rare, cries to heaven and gestures wildly on golf courses. In addition to being a new Rotary member, Andy is a member of the Urban Land Institute and attends St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church.
