With over 20 years in professional baseball, Andrew has built championship teams, won big-time awards, and probably sat through more tarp pulls than he’d care to admit.

Before bringing his talents (and rain ponchos) to Pearl, Andrew Seymour led the Palm Beach Cardinals to a 2024 Florida State League Championship — one of many stops on a baseball journey that’s taken him from Vancouver, British Columbia to Grand Prairie, Texas to Fort Myers, Florida. Along the way, he’s racked up multiple Minor League Baseball Executive of the Year honors and a reputation for building teams that feel more like family than front office.

Off the field, Andrew is a family man through and through. He and his wife, Jennifer, are the proud parents of two — a college baseball-playing son, AJ, and a daughter, Ava, who’s already making her own mark in high school.
