Andy Allman — Partner and C0-Founder Contact:partners@globetrotterproperties.com
Andy is a DC native who knows the area about as well as anyone. While earning his undergraduate and graduate degrees, he spent the better part of 15 years living and traveling abroad, including Peace Corps service in Kazakhstan and teaching English in China. For nearly twelve years he called DC's Mt. Pleasant, Columbia Heights, and Shaw neighborhoods home. Andy and his wife renovated their Shaw row house themselves, so he is prepared to handle just about any household problem. He currently manages this property, and lives in Arlington, VA. He has lived and worked in Kazakhstan, China, and the Middle East, and traveled extensively in Europe and Central America.
