Young Entrepreneur – Andrew Napier
Welcome back!
At the age of nine, Andrew Napier learned how to edit video on his home computer. This early interest became a love of films and film-making, and ultimately, in 2002, Andrew’s business, too.
Andrew has produced many short films for Mauston School District and dozens of personal clients. He has also produced a training video for the company Body Scanning CRM.
In the summer of 2003 Andrew traveled with the People to People Student Ambassador Program through England, Ireland, and Wales. He created a documentary film of this journey, which was awarded first place in the nation wide Special Correspondent contest sponsored by the Student Ambassador Program.
In September 2004, Andrew was invited to participate in a community project to restore a 1000-year-old Native American artefact – an effigy of the Panther Spirit made by the Ho-Chunk people. His documentary of that project won him a $1,000 prize.
Andrew does wedding videos and compiles videos from photos, family videos, and other graphics. In his senior year in high school he taught a class on video production, and he is now studying at college while continuing his video production business.

You go, Andrew. I heard of a study done at Columbia and they identified that the earlier in life you pursue the entrepreneurial life, the greater your chances are of long term success.
Keep going, and keep growing!

Great info, Mike!
I’m working on a book about this right now, so I will chase up a copy of that study if I can.
