Andy Fitzsimons, Vice President
What is your favorite Superior event?
This is a hard pick, but if I had to pick one, I would pick the Kentucky Derby. Everyone is dressed to impress, placing bets, and what a rush it is when those horses come down the final stretch!
What is your favorite thing about your job at Superior?
Building relationships with very successful individuals and companies in all different types of industries.
What’s one event you think everyone should try to attend at least once in their lifetime?
The Masters. It’s breathtaking walking on the sacred grounds of Augusta National. There isn’t one thing on the course out of place, and the roars during the tournament make your hair stand up. It’s incredible. I have had multiple non-golfers tell me that it was the most amazing experience they have ever had. Definitely an event everyone should experience once in their life, even if you are not a golfer.
What’s your best piece of travel advice?
Work with someone that knows you by name and not by your booking number. There is nothing more frustrating than not being able to talk to one point of contact to answer all your questions.
Describe a Superior travel experience in one word.
Turnkey.
What do you like to do when you’re not working?
Outside of work, I enjoy spending my free time with my wife and three kids. We are a big sports family, so the majority of our free time is spent traveling to basketball tournaments, baseball games, and volleyball games. We also enjoy spending time with friends and family golfing, taking Jeep rides, and working on our small family farm with our beef cows.

What is your favorite Superior event?
My personal favorite is the Kentucky Derby followed closely by The Masters. You can’t go wrong with either one; they’re the best.
What is your favorite thing about your job at Superior?
The people I work with and the guests we interact with on a daily basis. Also, meeting our guests in person. We’ve seen many guests at multiple events for many years, and it’s always great seeing those people again.
What’s one event you think everyone should try to attend at least once in their lifetime?
The Masters. Augusta National stands alone.
What’s your best piece of travel advice?
Ask questions. Even if you think you know, just ask. Our job is to answer questions and have these events run as seamlessly as possible. You’re at these events to entertain clients, friends, etc… let us handle everything, and sit back and enjoy the event.
Describe a Superior travel experience in one word.
Authentic. Yes, the hospitality, tickets, and accommodations will be spectacular, but you will also meet our staff in person at many of the events. For me personally, the best part is meeting our guests in person and connecting with them there.
What do you like to do when you’re not working?
When I’m not working, most of my time is spent on my kid’s events. Whether it’s coaching softball, tee ball, going to swim meets, basketball, etc… my wife and I are on the go attending or coaching youth sports. It’s busy, but I wouldn’t change it for anything.
