Inspiring Conversations with Andrew Johns of Bell Bank Mortgage

Today we’d like to introduce you to Andrew Johns

Hi Andrew, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
When I think of my story I think of all the resilience I learned at a young age and how it has helped shape my success today. When I was born my mother had several aneurysms and was hospitalized for a long time. She had to relearn how to walk, talk and restart her life. My father remarried and started a new family. Every other weekend growing up I spent time at my grandparents where my mother lived. My grandparents took care of her. I watched them fight for her health and never give up. Even when her health declined they never stopped advocating for her. Pushing insurance to cover therapy to help her walk. It is this relentless fight that helps me continue to stay focused on what I need in my life and never give up. Picking myself back up is much easier than most.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
I wouldn’t say smooth. My mother’s health declined throughout childhood until a point where she was in a wheelchair. As my grandparents became too old to care for her she was put in a nursing home because of her level of care.

Once my grandparents passed away my brother and I became full power of attorney’s for my mother. Fighting for her health with the nursing home until she passed last Feb, 2023.
