Andy Humber

Andy Humber joined Autism Empowerment’s Board of Directors in October 2016. He was born and raised in Boise, Idaho and was diagnosed on the autism spectrum in late elementary school.

Andy Humber has volunteered at Autism Empowerment in a wide variety of roles over the past decade. He is currently providing video and tech support for AE’s Neurodivergent Creators Collective. He first came into contact with Autism Empowerment in September 2015 and fell in love with what the nonprofit was doing for others, making a difference in their lives and helping encourage them to keep going. Andy identifies strongly with the difference, constantly working to make a positive impact in someone’s life. If even the slightest word he says makes someone think, “I got this, I can keep going,” Andy knows he is doing his job.

Andy currently works for Federal Express. Andy is also a regular volunteer with the American Red Cross as a Disaster Services Volunteer. He serves as a Disaster Action Team member (DAT) responding to assist people when local disasters displace people from their homes. He was deployed to New York City in 2012 to assist with the relief efforts of Hurricane Sandy in the roles of a Shelter Worker and Shelter Manager, also through the American Red Cross.

In Andy’s spare time, he enjoys music, audio recording, and producing. He helps in his church band in recording and producing gospel albums. He also enjoys fixing iPhones and Macbook computers for fun. He is an avid bicyclist, rain or shine.
