Meet Andy Oldenburg, Marsh McLennan Agency
His grandfather Don served in World War II, came home, launched a retail empire, and was ultimately named Man of the Century. His dad, John, was an attorney who ultimately rose to become a judge of the county courts. His mom, Dianne, found her space in education, helping people gain their GEDs, and then founded a nursing program and community college. No pressure to perform if you’re one of the Oldenburg kids.
At least you’d think so. But Andy Oldenburg’s parents gave their boys the gift of creating their own stories. For a while Andy thought about following his dad into the legal profession. While he pursued that he took a job at a bank, which he really enjoyed because of the cute teller next to him. But while he was in law school and he realized all the heavy reading involved, then an attorney friend of his was called home on his way to another friend’s wedding to get back to work on a case, then a law school mentor said he’d rather crash his car then go into the office. OK, so maybe politics. While an intern he watched congress people literally taking naps during sessions. So, no-go. Then while working at the Heathman Hotel and lugging bags for Mick Jagger, he realized he didn’t see a path to success. That’s when he discovered a path in helping people with their finances, and well, that cute teller next to him? She kinda gave him a purpose when they got married… so maybe it’ll include being named Dad of the Century.
