About Andy Bachman

Act like you’ve been there before.” — Vince Lombardi Wise words from one of the greatest football coaches in history. My father was drafted by the Green Bay Packers and Vince Lombardi. From a young age, my father taught me to act like nothing was too big or too beneath me. This has served as my motivation to continually strive for more, perform better, and appreciate my successes while never forgetting where I started.Shortly after graduating from the University of Cincinnati with a Bachelor of Science in Education, I began working as a Department Manager in the grocery industry with Biggs/SuperValu. After three years, one of my distributors, A.B. Wise and Sons, had an opening as an Account Manager, they recruited me to join their team, and that position laid the foundation for my future successes.During the last 20+ years, I have become an industry sales leader in the specialty food category. Beginning as a Regional Sales Manager with Twinings Teas, moving up to a Central Region Manager with Texmati Rice, and ascending to a National Specialty Sales Manager with T. Marzetti, I have become a trusted friend and ally to distributors, brokers, retailers, and buyers across the U.S.Throughout my career, I have had many successes, including:⇨ Developing a first-of-its-kind direct sales program for Walmart ⇨ Hand-selected as the company’s first Central Region Manager to build up a new territory⇨ Increased sales from $4.5M to $10M⇨ Almost doubled KeHE business ⇨ Assisted with Jack Daniel’s Mustard rebrand and relaunch that increased revenue 46.7%⇨ 26 years of brand growth When I’m not building sales, you can find me traveling (I’ve been to all 50 states), fostering cats with an animal rescue, hiking, or enjoying college and pro football. While I’ve had many successes, I am most proud of the relationships I’ve built and the trust that others have in me.
