President, “A” Locksmith

In 2014 at the age of 29, Andrew Blitch left behind a career as a police officer in Houston and, in an entrepreneurial leap of faith, returned to his hometown of Naples to purchase “A” Locksmith with his wife, Angelique. The company had been around since 1973, and Blitch took over as the youngest of 10 employees. Under his leadership, sales have nearly doubled and staff and service quality has grown. Angie’s List even recognized the business with a Super Service Award in 2016.

As a police officer, Blitch obtained nine Letters of Commendation, highlighting his integrity, heroism and efforts to save multiple lives. The Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) alumnus is a member of the Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce and 2017 Growing Associates in Naples (GAIN) class. He graduated cum laude with a major in criminal justice and minor in mathematics and hopes to further benefit Naples with his specialized knowledge of law enforcement, home and business security, and crime prevention.

Blitch and his wife have two children, Genevieve, 5, and Lucas, 1.
