Andy Golden

Andy grew up on a farm in Portage, Pennsylvania. After obtaining his Bachelor’s degree in Science & Technology from college, he became a commissioned officer in the United States Army. For the next decade, he led soldiers in semi-permissive and hostile environments all over the world. He left the military as an Arabic speaking Major in the Special Forces. His last job before departing the Army was as Aide-De-Camp to the Commander of the Special Operations Joint Task Force-Afghanistan (COMSOJTF-A).

In 2019, Andy co-founded Innovative Extracts with the intent to help others by providing CBD products that are of high quality, effective, and priced for the middle class. Andy is married to his wonderful wife Rachel (a former paratrooper officer from the 82nd Airborne Division). They have three beautiful daughters together.

Aside from running the day-to-day operations at IE, Andy also serves as the Commander for VFW Post 4963, is an active member in the Special Forces Association, and occasionally travels as a SOF Mentor with Valiant Integrated Defense.
