Andy worked for a pharmaceutical company in Michigan for over 22 years.  In 1996, the plant was suddenly closed down and Andy was among 500 people who lost their jobs.  Looking for a new career, he came in contact with a man who was about to retire and wanted to sell his window cleaning company.  Andy and his wife, Carol, bought the business back in 1996 and have been washing windows ever since.  In 2004, they decided they were tired of the cold Michigan winters.  They sold their business in Michigan and relocated to Atlanta where they purchased the established window cleaning company - Clear Reflection.

Up till 1996, Carol was a stay-at-home mom who raised 3 children.  When Andy lost his job, she decided to work side-by-side with her husband washing windows.  They primarily did Commercial window cleaning in Michigan, which included several restaurant chains who required weekly services.  In the Spring and Fall, they rearranged their schedule to fit in the residential work.  When they relocated to Georgia, they bought a company who's primary focus was on residential window cleaning.  Since 2004, they have worked together with their daughter Tamara and her husband, Derek.

After graduating from college in 1997 with a bachelors degree in Criminal Justice, Derek went to work in security and later moved into management.  He married Tamara in 1999 and for the first three years of their marriage, he worked for a GM Tier 1 supplier.  In 2001, he decided he wanted to be his own boss.  He bought his own Window Cleaning company and has been washing windows ever since. 

Tamara's career began 1994 working at a bank.  For 5 years she worked in banking, first as a teller, then in bookkeeping and finally as the IRA Coordinator.  After leaving the bank, she began work with the State of MI.  Her first year was with the Dept. of Treasury and then she moved over to Dept. of Community Health (MDCH) & The Michigan Public Health Institute. She spent 5 years working as a Program Assistant on multiple public health projects.  She specialized in website design, accounting, budgets/contracts and database management.  Tamara worked Monday thru Thursday at MDCH and on Fridays, worked with her husband window cleaning. Since moving to  GA, she has been able to quit her desk job and work fulltime with her husband.
