ANDREW FREY: THE CHIEF ENGINEER.
I didn’t start my career behind a desk; I started it behind a welding mask. With a pedigree ranging from Nuclear Platform Hardware Engineeringto currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Applied Sciences, I engineer and manage digital infrastructure for those who refuse to settle for generic standards.
FROM THE FORGETO THE FIRM.
My career began in the heavy trades as a Welder-Fitter, where I was eventually promoted into specialized technology for Nuclear platforms at the Idaho National Lab. That foundation of structural integrity and “zero-failure” hardware engineering is the bedrock of Forge Idaho.
I hold a Master of Science in Business Intelligenceand a Bachelor of Science in Digital Arts & Designfrom Full Sail University. Currently, I am continuing my research through Idaho State University, working toward a Ph.D. in Applied Sciences. Over the last 15+ years, I have led technical operations for global entities and institutional brands. I founded Forge Idaho to bring this level of scientific rigor back to the local business owners who drive our economy.
HARDENED FOR PERFORMANCE.
I am not here to replace your marketing team. I don’t just build websites; I engineer secure, scalable business engines using over a decade of data intelligence experience.
- Fractional CTO Oversight:Strategic calibration and monthly diagnostics to ensure your digital engine is always tuned for ROI.
- Applied Science & Logic:Systems Engineering rooted in current Doctoral-level research and Nuclear-grade hardware precision.
- Industrial Cybersecurity:Security Architecture with 6+ years of experience leading Incident Response teams for mission-critical infrastructure.
- Business Intelligence:Data-driven strategy backed by a Master of Science to identify and eliminate budget leaks in your operation.
THE "ZERO HOSTAGE" PROTOCOL.
For too long, agencies have held small businesses hostage by “renting” them their own growth. I am a player-coach who is personally involved in every phase of the creative and technical process—from server integration and physical hardware management to visual motion graphics.
Every engine I build comes with a “Zero Hostage” policy. Ownership means flexibility—and at Forge Idaho, you can hold the legal title to your infrastructure from day one. If you ever choose to take your engine to another shop, I personally provide a full technical export of your website and its history.
