BIOGRAPHY
Andi Last brings nearly 30 years of broadcasting, media, and marketing experience to Pure Financial Advisors. She is the producer of the Your Money, Your Wealth® podcast and radio show, and moderator for the firm’s digital events.
Prior to joining Pure, Andi was Media Operations Manager for a San Diego-based financial services firm with a long-running, nationally syndicated financial advice TV and radio show. While living in Australia, Andi was the Operations Manager for the media branch of an international non-profit organization examining global sustainability challenges and responses.
Andi gratefully serves on the board of directors of Living LFS, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization supporting those with Li-Fraumeni Syndrome (LFS), a rare genetic predisposition to developing cancer. Andi enjoys still photography, and her photos have appeared in national publications and on a Grammy-nominated record. Andi and her husband Jay have been together since 2010. Sharing a passion for music, they produced and recorded a house concert series featuring performances by professional touring musicians. The Lasts also play music themselves: their band has played 60’s garage rock for audiences of three in their living room, and tens of people have watched their music videos on YouTube.
