Name: Andrew Varela
Age: 28
Title: Fearless leader
Married/Single: Here to mingle
Kids: None
Live: Arcadia
I was born…
on my birthday
My favorite thing about Arizona…
is Arcadia. The area is full of people biking, supportive neighborhood businesses, and it’s a great place to acquire and share knowledge from the most innovative, young professionals.
I’m listening to…
the sounds of laughter and Justin Timberlake on the sound system at The Madison Improvement Club. This is how we do!
My family…
are my mentors in EVERY single way.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
Rob Dydrek or Richard Branson. They have inspired me with ideals such as, “make your own luck”- RD and “doing good is good for business”-RB. The way I approach life is this – work hard, give more, and have the time of your life doing it!
One thing I cannot live without…
burritos, no explanation necessary. Next question!
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
Everything. A hockey player, a golfer, an entrepreneur, a weatherman, a sportscaster, a dinosaur, a bartender (the movie cocktail got me), a comedian, a pastor. It really depended on the day of the week.
I’m inspired by…
Jesus. That man really got on a good roll.
The one person who motivates me is…
Harmony Fulton (my co-worker). She is pretty close to the guy above.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
hatred.
The perfect day would be…
Wake up, eat an Acai Bowl at s.e.e.d. café (our in-house café at Madison Improvement Club), yoga, watch a Denver Broncos game with friends, teach a spin class, grab dinner and drinks with friends in Sorrento, Italy, and then come home to my wife, Jennifer Aniston.
My first job was…
ordering pizzas at Hockey Camp and selling slices at a premium. I was 8.
My favorite escape…
my favorite places are Sorrento, Italy and Prague
My life…
is really fun, come play!
I’m currently working on…
Arcadia Crewz: a monthly, themed bike ride series in Arcadia. Not only will it provide people with a good time, but it will also give new and local businesses the chance to take part and stimulate their business. We’ve teamed up with Rebecca Brookson of Bicyclette, and we are so excited for our inaugural event on Feb 16th! Stops include O.H.S.O, Milagro Grill, Little Woody’s and s.e.e.d. café in The Madison Improvement Club.
Always…
work out.
Never…
say never. Shout out to the Biebs.
Favorite Quote…
“Today I will live in the moment unless it’s unpleasant in which case I will eat a cookie.” – I think the cookie monster?
Biggest Dream…
the biggest cookie.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
People on segways, parking lots, and thin napkins, of course.
