210. The Perfect Old Fashioned - Andy Plofkin

Andy Plofkin enjoys his life. His no excuse love for the fire service has created so many incredible experiences along his journey. From his early childhood days of watching and wanting to emulate those who served with his family in the fire department, Andy knew he had a long road ahead of influencing in the fire service. His influence comes in the form of over 40 years serving as a firefighter as well as working in the industry for over 30 years. Currently working as the Director of North American Regional Sales for Safefleet, the company that owns such popular brands such as Elkhart Brass, FoamPro, FRC and Rom, Andy travels half the year educating and supporting the fire service. His connections are vast and his reach is immense. When he's not teaching, making connections or closing a deal, he enjoys life by the lake and takes time to think about the fortune he has had along the way. Proud to be a fire buff and the heritage from which he came, he proudly talks about his family and the guys he still rides with at the local volunteer firehouse. Andy Plofkin has immense joy looking back on his years traversing this nation educating and talking fire. There's nothing better than that... or perhaps, there is. The perfect Old Fashioned. He has had plenty of years to perfect his pour and he is willing to share his secret so that other can enjoy the delicious brown cocktail that he so eloquently talks about.
