Andrew Collier was born in Portage la Praire, Manitoba on September 9, 1969. Collier started working for the Winnipeg Goldeyes in 1994, and was named General Manager in December of 2001. His talent for leadership and skill at guiding the Goldeyes earned him the Northern League Executive of the Year Award in 2002, ’04, ’06, ’07, and ’09. During Collier’s 16 years at the helm of the Goldeyes, the Goldeyes were named Organization of the Year in their league seven times, they hosted two very successful league all-star games, set independent ball attendance records, and saw numerous fundraising avenues open up due to Collier’s efforts. Collier also somehow found the time to become a member of the Baseball Manitoba High Performance committee and the Charleswood Minor Baseball Association committee.
