YOUR REAL ESTATE LAWYER ON THE ALABAMA GULF COAST
Meet Andrew
Andrew lives in Orange Beach, AL. He is the father of three amazing sons, Fisher, Lawson, and Mac. Other than his time away for college and his service in the Army, Andrew has lived on the Alabama Gulf Coast since the age of two, when his parents, Randy & Betsy Mckinney moved the family down from Birmingham in 1985.
Andrew graduated from Gulf Shores High School in 2001 and Auburn University in 2005. He then served six years in the United States Army from 2006 to 2012. While in the Army, he attended several schools and training programs, including the Army Infantry School and Army Airborne School. After Airborne School, Andrew was selected to attend Special Forces Assessment and Selection (SFAS). He was selected in the top 10% of candidates attending SFAS and entered into the Special Forces Qualification Course (Q-Course). As a Q-Course candidate, he trained at the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center in Fort Bragg, NC and Camp McCall, NC. He graduated from the Warrior Leader Course, Small Unit Tactics Training Program (SUT), and S.E.R.E. School (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape). Andrew was deployed to Afghanistan in 2009 and served as an Airborne Infantry Sergeant for both the 4th Brigade, 25th Infantry Regiment (3/509 Parachute Infantry Regiment and the 3rd Brigade, 101st Airborne Division (187th Infantry Regiment – RAKKASANS!). He served with distinction in Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom 2009 and 2010, and was awarded multiple commendation medals for valor and meritorious achievement during combat.
After his tour of duty, Andrew decided he wanted to get a desk job. So after he completed his service requirements, he used the Post 911 GI Bill to attend law school and received his Juris Doctor in 2015 from the University of Alabama School of Law.
Andrew has been practicing real estate law in Gulf Shores for 9 years and has recently joined his mother, Besty McKinney, at Professional Land Title, Inc. in Gulf Shores as their in-house counsel.
