With over three years of valuable experience at the Kitsap Building Association as Membership and Communications Director, Andy Arrants joined the Building Industry Association of Washington as digital production manager in January 2021. His transition to the Education Manager position in the spring of 2022 was a natural progression, given his comprehensive understanding of the industry. Andy now oversees all aspects of the award-winning Education Department at BIAW, demonstrating his competence in teaching, scheduling classes, and managing accounts payable and receivable. Having instructed a variety of subjects for over a decade, Andy is now a licensed National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Instructor and has started teaching classes for BIAW, including Certified Aging-in-Place, Project Management, Construction Law, and others. He is excited about the prospect of introducing and teaching many more courses in the building industry over the next few months, which is sure to pique the interest of the audience. Andy and his wife, Sabrina, live in Lacey, Washington. In his free time, Andy enjoys spending time with his wife and cockapoo Daisy, and leading worship music at his church, which he finds to be a great balance to his professional life.
