FALL MINING SHOWCASE 2026

Andy Schectman is the President and Owner of Miles Franklin, a leading precious metals firm he founded in 1989. With over three decades of experience and more than $14 billion in sales, Andy has established himself as a recognized authority in the field of wealth preservation through tangible assets.

During his career with Miles Franklin, Andy was a Licensed Financial Planner, specializing in Swiss Franc investments and alternative strategies long before they became mainstream. His early focus on monetary safety nets and portfolio diversification laid the foundation for what would become a trusted name in the precious metals space.

At the core of Andy’s philosophy is a belief that gold and silver are not merely investments, they are wealth. He views precious metals as enduring stores of value that have weathered centuries of upheaval, including world wars, hyperinflation, and economic depression. For Andy, accumulating metals isn’t about chasing riches, it’s about preserving purchasing power, protecting legacy, and securing generational wealth.

Under his leadership, Miles Franklin is known not just for its volume, but its values: trust, integrity, ethical conduct, and white-glove service that puts clients first. The company’s reputation for transparency and education reflects Andy’s own commitment to empowering individuals to make informed financial decisions.

Andy is also a leading voice in the conversation surrounding the evolving global financial system. He frequently speaks on the rise of the BRICS nations, the decline of the petrodollar, and the strategic role of gold in central bank reserves. As global power shifts, Andy continues to offer critical insights on what these dynamics mean for U.S. dollar dominance and the future of monetary sovereignty.
