Andy Drennen

Director

Hi everyone! My name is Andy Drennen. I joined the board in May 2023 and own 2 condos at the resort. I bought my first one in 2020 and my second in 2022.

I was born in Florida and grew up in Paraguay, South America, but Springfield has been home for most of my life.  I graduated from Drury University, then got my masters in personal financial planning.  I currently serve as a vice president and senior portfolio manager for Simmons Bank Private Wealth. My team and I manage about $1.3 billion in assets locally.

I am the immediate past president of Springfield Sister Cities Association, and I serve on the investment advisory board for the Community Foundation of the Ozarks.  I have a tea business as my side hustle (BlendForThat.com), and we sell in Mama Jeans, Hy-Vee, online, and do cool things with other local partners.

My wife, Lori, and I just celebrated our 6th anniversary and have a 5 year old Catahoula-poodle.  Look him up on TikTok and Instagram – Milo the Magnificent!  Sadly, we had to put down our 22 year old cat in January 2023.  We enjoy traveling to the lake, and I play guitar (in private).

I’m looking forward to working with my fellow board members to contribute to a brighter future of the resort!
