It started in 1995 when Andrew started Club Planet as a tool to help him get into clubs.
Andrew believed millions of people shared his passion for nightlife. Club Planet started as a virtual community dedicated to serving this enormous and untapped market. Fast forward - Club Planet has grown into the largest nightlife resource in the Western Hemisphere reaching more consumers at night than any other company in the United States.
In the late nineties Andrew founded Way Communications, one of America’s first independent Internet Service Providers. Shortly after Andrew bought Tumble Interactive, a Web Development company. A year later he stared 3G Communications, a Wireless Tower Communication business. By 2002 Andrew had sold all three companies to concentrate exclusively on his first passion, Club Planet. By this time, Club Planet had a following of over 1 million registered users. Andrew realized an offline component was desperately needed if he wanted to realize its true growth potential. By 2003 Andrew purchased a majority stake in Track Entertainment, and created TMG a holding company that connected brands and consumers through events, social media and television.
