Andrew "Andy" Lawrence Drexler

Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on March 7, 1931, Andy was a graduate of St. Thomas More High School before continuing his education at the Milwaukee School of Engineering. A proud veteran of the United States Navy, Andy served his country with honor and dedication. Following his military service, he spent his career in management within the electronics trade.
