About Us

From starting out as an elementary school teacher, to his 2008-2010 enrollment in Harvard's Owner/President executive education program, Andy knows firsthand the impact that great teachers and learning experiences have on one's career. Mix in his almost 30 years of JD Edwards experience, and the result is someone who has been passionate about serving the JDE community with services that make a difference in the lives of those who must make use of (and fully understand) JD Edwards software. It is this passion for education that prompted Andy to create the company called Klee Associates, now JDEtips, in 2000. Andy retired from JDEtips in 2017 and continues to apply his passion for learning in other, new directions.
