About Andrew MacQuarrie
Andrew is a problem-solver and an educator. His main focus is relieving his clients from stress and helping them improve their lives through growth, preservation, and financial planning. While he enjoys sharing his knowledge with clients, he also understands that he needs to be continuously learning - both about the impact of the financial markets, but also learning about his clients, their families, and their goals. He understands the value of connecting with people, fostering relationships, and listening to their stories. Although clients' finances could seem similar on paper, it's their experiences and personalities that make them different. He wants people to feel heard and confident about their unique situations and decisions.
Andrew gained an interest in financial management when some of his family members needed help. He started studying all that he could about finance to be able to share this knowledge with them, and eventually took an internship with one of the largest teams at Morgan Stanley to deepen his understanding and explore this type of career. His mentors and the impact he was able to make on his family got him hooked. He had always been interested in business and current events, which are some of the main conversations he has with his dad, and he soon realized this was the right career path for him. Just as he jumped at the opportunity to help his family, Andrew helps his clients with the same level of urgency and attention.
When clients call, they know that someone on the team will address their unique situations and concerns.
Outside of the office, Andrew can be found supporting local and small businesses, frequenting the local farmers' markets, or volunteering in the community. He enjoyed playing football and lacrosse growing up but now sticks to golf and playing the piano.
Above all, Andrew values family and embracing everything his community has to offer. In 2024 he married his wife Isabella, who comes from a legacy Gilroy family and still owns a garlic ranch in the area. Andrew went to the same schools as his dad, who has been and IBM engineer for over 30 year and lives in down the street; his mom works for the Second Harvest Food Bank in Idaho; and his sister works in tech sales in San Diego. Some of his favorite memories are spent with his wife, black lab, and family over live music.
Something his clients may not know about him is that he enjoys art and creative projects, and even grew up making wine from a small vineyard in his family's backyard.
