Andrew DeMarco

Civic/Community Involvement

Andrew was born in Arlington Heights, IL and moved to Burlington WI in 1976. He confessed “It took me a decade to give in, leave the Bears and become a Packer fan. I’ve never looked back.”

Andrew has traveled extensively nationally and globally during his career, but his absolute favorite vacation spots are Northern Wisconsin and Door County, Wisconsin. “They are beautiful, relaxing and within driving distance of Madison; I am so fortunate to live in this state.”

Andrews’s hobbies include bird hunting, fly fishing, water sports, boating, golf, snowboarding and skiing.
