Andy WarwickAndy Warwick, a 1966 graduate of the UAF School of Management, has demonstrated leadership at both local and statewide levels in both public and private sector responsibilities. Andy has worked as a practicing CPA since 1978 and a short time later he and his business partner, Rick Schikora, established Warwick and Schikora, CPAs.
Despite being extremely busy running a business and raising a family, Andy found time to serve his community as well. Andy is a former State Legislator and State of Alaska Commissioner of Administration under Governor Jay Hammond. In addition, he served nine years on the Fairbanks School Board, two years on the State Board of Education, and six years as Chair of the Alaska Natural Gas Development Authority.
Andy’s leadership skills were instrumental to the creation of Fairbanks Sewer and Water, a start-up company formed in 1995 to privatize the Fairbanks water and sewer utilities, and he remains the Chair of the Board of Directors. Andy has been a member of the Doyon Utilities LLC Management Committee since its inception in 2005.
Andy is a life-long resident of Fairbanks. His grandparents arrived in September 1906 on a sternwheeler. His mother was born in Fairbanks in 1915. Andy was born at St. Joseph’s Hospital in 1943. During the 1940s, Andy’s family mined gold at Livengood and made lifelong friendships with the Dodsons, Roberts, Hefflingers, Parkers, and Lindstroms who are still close to this day.
Andy’s family enjoys a tradition rich with UAF history. His mother Emma (Miller) graduated from UAF in 1938 with a bachelor’s degree in business and his daughter Sydney received her bachelor in business administration in 1999.
Andy’s three children: Sydney, Zach, and Jesse continued the family tradition of being born and raised in Fairbanks. In 1994, Sydney married Yuri Morgan, from another multi-generation Fairbanks family. Together they have two daughters named Rory and Massie.
Andy is an avid Skijorer. The year he turned 70, he represented the United States in the International Federation of Sleddog Sports 2013 World Championships. The combination of working with dogs, a competitive spirit and the enjoyment of the outdoors combine to make this one of his passions in life.
A lover of animals, Andy and his lovely wife of 45 years, Judy, currently have seven dogs, the latest named Freddie, who like most of their four-legged family was rescued from the Fairbanks North Star Borough Animal Shelter. Andy and Judy are advocates for the Fairbanks Animal Shelter Fund; their dog Freddie is the Shelter Fund’s mascot.
