Meet the Director
Andrew Beitzel graduated from RBC with an Associate in Biblical Studies and The Ohio State University with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. After working as a design engineer, he started a fence business, built and operates a luxury cabin business in the Hocking Hills area. Andrew has been drawn to both the trades and real estate because of the way they combine mental and physical effort with creativity. His interests outside of work include disc golf, architecture, old houses, and listening to folk music, hardcore music, and theology podcasts. He lives with his wife Carrie and their three young children in nearby Mechanicsburg.
