Since 1996 Andrew McCrea has traveled the nation, producing the “American Countryside” features that are heard each day on radio stations coast-to-coast. He can be heard daily on radio (Sirius/XM satellite radio and over 100 local radio stations) and television, and on such national networks as Westwood One and CBS.

Andrew’s keynotes and training programs provide an insightful guide that inspires leadership at every level. Andrew presents with energy, enthusiasm and expertise onstage, and his sincere, “down home” delivery style endears him to audiences.
Andrew’s uniqueness lies in the broad background his life encompasses. He continues to manage and work on his family’s 4500-acre ranch in northwest Missouri, McCrea Family Farms. The family farm is split evenly between row crop production (corn and soybeans) and pasture for cattle. He knows what it is like to move herds of cattle and work 18-hour days harvesting a crop.
Andrew is the author of six books including the Ippy Award Winner, “American Countryside: Where Does Lost Luggage Go?” All of his publications are insightful books about life and leadership based on the interesting stories featured on the radio program.
Andrew believes in building strong communities. He is the past chairman of the Heartland Foundation, a group that promotes the “healthy communities” concept of raising the quality of life in rural and urban areas. He is chairman of the Community Foundation of Northwest Missouri and a past chairman of the Missouri Beef Industry Council. Andrew has also served as a certified lay speaker, a role that brings him to speak at many churches on topics of faith.
