About LeTip of Essex, NJ

Andrew Merriweather is a Home and Property Inspector who works at Clever Inspections

I grew up in Rockaway, New Jersey, a town that shaped much of who I am today. From a young age, I was deeply involved in sports, splitting my time between wrestling and playing baseball. These experiences not only taught me the importance of discipline and perseverance but also gave me lifelong memories and friendships. Being active and staying fit has always been a cornerstone of my life. I genuinely enjoy working out and find that it’s not just about physical health but also a way to clear my mind and recharge. I’ve always valued the time spent with friends, whether it’s catching up, sharing a laugh, or simply enjoying each other’s company. Currently, I have the privilege of giving back to the sport that gave me so much by serving as a wrestling coach for Dover Middle School. Coaching allows me to mentor young athletes and help them grow both on and off the mat, fostering the same values that shaped me. Professionally, I’m a registered representative with New York Life, where I have the opportunity to guide individuals and families toward financial security. I’ve always loved being a resource for others and take pride in helping people whenever I can. Whether it’s through coaching, my work, or simply lending a listening ear, being there for others brings me a great sense of fulfillment.
