Andrew H. Kitchens II

Andrew “Andy” Kitchens II, joined Local Union 132 in 2001, as a second-year apprentice after nine years in non-union construction.

Andy represented Local 132 at the Regional and International Competition. In 2003, he became Journeyman. Andy was fortunate enough to work steadily with several contractors and was able to get to know them and support their needs for the industry. He also could move around which allowed him to meet many contractors and their employees. Andy recognizes that this network most likely helps him with his current position as Business Representative for the Cincinnati area.

Andy lives in Cincinnati with his wife Jennifer and their two children, a son who plays baseball and a daughter who dances. He likes camping and fishing with his family, as well as riding motorcycles and hunting. Andy also serves as the President of Local 132.
