Many knew him in the number of distinguished roles he held in the industry. He was an officer at HA Lott, a founder of Farnsworth & Lott, an officer with Manhattan Construction Co. and the founder of Robertson Building Strategies. He gave tirelessly to AGC Houston and the commercial construction industry. Robertson also was the initiating force of the biennial APEX Awards.

 

Some may know that Andy Robertson served in Vietnam during the intense fighting in 1968 and 1969. But because he was so personally humble, few knew that he was a highly-decorated war hero.  For his actions in Vietnam - during an 11-month period - he rose from private to a sergeant, platoon leader, and was awarded the Silver Star, Two Bronze Stars with Valor, the Combat Infantry Badge and two Purple Hearts.
