About Andy | Author and Founder of Overview Affection
After spending five years leading a team competing against Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos to return humans to the Moon—a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that ended in heartbreak—aerospace engineer Andy Crocker found himself searching for what truly matters. That loss, coupled with the realization that his kids were nearly grown, sparked a desire to pass on the values he believes are essential for living a meaningful life. The Unconditionals is the result—a framework grounded in timeless principles to help anyone pursue personal fulfillment and well-being.
