Instead of pursuing college I put my nose down and worked my way up. My story of success is proof that college isn't for everyone — what matters is aligning yourself with people who've already learned the pitfalls.
Edreff Holdings helps businesses with IT asset disposition, business strategy, and website design. Built on a decade of real global experience — and the simple habit of picking up the phone.
No MBA. No consulting pedigree. Just a decade of moving real product across real borders — and a reputation for being the first call back.
Andrew got his start in IT at sixteen, working the floor at Computer Exchange, a small repair shop in Lorain, Ohio. From there he took a job at Monitor Man in Elyria — starting as a technician and working his way up to warehouse manager. College was never the plan; hands-on work was.
When Monitor Man closed, Andrew saw an opportunity. In 2015, he launched Edreff Holdings as an independent consulting practice, partnering with longtime colleague Matthew Laukaitis at MPL Solutions in Connecticut. Since then, Edreff Holdings has moved more than 500,000 desktops, laptops, and servers to buyers in the U.S., Canada, China, Dubai, and Egypt.
"Everyone has a number in their head. Working with someone — and understanding them — to get to that number is the hardest part."
For five years, Andrew also co-owned Smash Pizza Kitchen in North Ridgeville with his partner Jenso Soto, selling his share of the partnership to Jenso in late 2025. Running a fast-casual restaurant meant building real operator muscles: scheduling labor against forecasted demand, watching food and labor cost percentages weekly, planning local advertising spend with a measurable return, and forecasting cash flow through slow seasons and holiday rushes. Same week, he might be negotiating a six-figure pallet of off-lease laptops and approving the next round of Friday-night staffing — the kind of cross-discipline operator perspective that still informs every strategy call today.
In August 2025, Andrew joined the MPL Solutions team on stage at the Bellagio to accept the Most Outstanding Wholesale IT Asset Purchaser award — an industry-voted honor at the ITAD Summit, North America's largest gathering of IT asset disposition professionals.
The award recognizes excellence across the wholesale IT resale channel: deal volume, ethical practices, and consistency in delivering for ITAD partners nationwide. As MPL Solutions' longtime buying and remarketing partner through Edreff Holdings, Andrew shares in the recognition — a reflection of the decade-long partnership and the relationships built with Fortune 500 IT teams, R2 recyclers, and ITAD operators across the U.S.
Built for owners, IT leaders, and small-business operators who need someone reliable, responsive, and genuinely invested in the outcome.
IT asset disposition, handled end-to-end. From data-center take-outs to bulk off-lease recovery, we bring pricing intelligence, trusted channels, and a network of qualified global buyers.
Operator-level advice for small and mid-sized businesses. Real-world guidance from someone who's run multiple P&Ls — including five years co-owning a fast-casual pizza restaurant where labor scheduling, ad spend, and weekly forecasting were the difference between a good month and a bad one.
Clean, modern websites for small businesses that need to look as good as they actually are. No bloated retainers — just a site that reflects the brand and converts visitors.
A decade of deals across five countries has taught a simple lesson: reliability and speed are the entire moat. Here's what that looks like in practice.

A quick rundown of the questions that come up most — about engagements, pricing, geography, and how we actually work together.
Three things, all under one roof: IT asset disposition (ITAD) for companies decommissioning hardware at scale, business consulting for operators who need a sharp outside perspective, and website design for brands that need a serious online presence. The common thread is operational discipline — we move fast, communicate clearly, and treat every engagement like our reputation depends on it. Because it does.
On the ITAD side, our wheelhouse is mid-market through Fortune 500 IT departments managing refresh cycles, lease returns, and large-scale decommissions. On the consulting side, founders and small-to-mid business owners who want experienced, candid input without a six-figure agency retainer. Web design clients tend to be professional services firms, family-run operations, and anyone whose current site is doing them more harm than good.
Both. Our headquarters is in Avon, Ohio, and we love working with businesses across Northeast Ohio. But ITAD is inherently a national and global business — we regularly purchase equipment from sellers across the country and have logistics partners who can handle pickup almost anywhere in the continental U.S. Consulting and web work are done remotely with as much in-person time as the engagement calls for.
It depends entirely on the engagement, so the honest answer is: let's talk. ITAD purchases are quoted per-deal based on the equipment, condition, and logistics involved — there's no list price for a warehouse of mixed Dell servers. Consulting is typically project-based or retainer, scoped after a free intro call. Website design is fixed-fee with a clear deliverable list before we start. No surprise invoices, ever.
It starts with a list — manifest, spreadsheet, photos, whatever you have. We give you a fair-market quote within a business day or two. If the numbers work, we coordinate pickup, secure data destruction with proper certificates, and a wire transfer once the equipment is received and verified.
For larger engagements with sensitive data, we walk through chain-of-custody documentation up front so your IT, legal, and compliance teams know exactly what to expect.
Seriously. Drives are wiped to NIST 800-88 standards or physically destroyed depending on client preference, and certificates of destruction are provided for every asset. Chain of custody is documented from pickup through final disposition. For regulated industries — healthcare, finance, government contractors — we tailor the process to your specific compliance framework.
The firm was established in 2015, building on roughly a decade of prior global experience in the secondary IT market. Recent recognition includes being honored at the 2025 ITAD Summit for excellence in wholesale IT asset purchasing — but the longer story is a track record of repeat clients and referrals that goes back well before the awards.
Send an email — that's genuinely the whole first step. A short note describing what you're trying to accomplish (or what you're trying to get rid of) is enough to start the conversation. We respond personally, usually the same day. No intake forms, no sales sequences, no chasing.
Whether it's a warehouse of off-lease equipment, a business challenge that's been lingering, or a website that needs a refresh — the conversation starts with a quick email.
