Andrew Schroeder
CEO / Founder
Pensacola, FL
Andrew Schroeder was born in northern Virginia in 1992. He moved to Northwest Florida, with his family, in 2003. After attending the University of West Florida, Andrew started a career in the service industry. During this time, a close friend inspired Andrew to create his own T-shirt Company. After months of researching for a cost-effective way to offer product online, Andrew recognized the need for an online platform for start-up, part time, and full-time entrepreneurs of local small business that was easy and affordable. 5 Star Culture Company is the answer! Andrew, with the assistance of his good friend, Ford, created 5 Star Culture Company to give local and small businesses a way to offer their product to the world, via the internet, without spending all their creative time figuring out business regulations, internet protocols or spending all their profit on these services!
