• Andrew Shue

  Co-Founder

  Andrew co-founded CMI Marketing in July, 1999 along with his lifelong friend Michael Sanchez. Their vision was to create an organization that would celebrate and reward moms for all that they do each and every day.

  As a husband and father of three sons, Andrew's experience has shaped the long-term vision for CMI. He has spearheaded the company's funding and business development since its inception. Under his direction, key strategic partnerships have been formed with venture capitalists Highland Capital Partners and Draper Fisher Jurvetson.

  A community leader, Andrew is the chairman and co-founder, along with Michael, of the national non-profit youth leadership organization Do Something, which has inspired and trained millions of young people to take action in their communities.

  As an actor, Andrew starred in FOX television's "Melrose Place" for six years and made his feature film debut in "The Rainmaker," directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Andrew has played professional soccer in Zimbabwe, Africa, and Major League Soccer for the Los Angeles Galaxy. While playing soccer in Africa he also taught high school math. He is co-producer of an Imax film about soccer called The World's Game and he served as spokesman for the 1994 World Cup.

  Andrew recently joined forces with his brother John, sister Elisabeth Shue (Academy Award Nominee for "Leaving Las Vegas"), and brother-in-law Davis Guggenheim (Academy Award Winner for "An Inconvenient Truth") to create the production company Ursa Major Films. Their first project and Andrew's debut venture this year as producer was "Gracie," a movie inspired by real life events from the Shue family.

  Andrew graduated from Dartmouth College in 1989 with a degree in history. In 1995 he received an honorary degree from Drew University and was named one of ten outstanding young Americans by the Junior Chamber of Commerce.

He also talks about it in a Today show interview (it's about 4 minutes into the clip):
