Executive Director
Andrew OCHSNER
Andrew grew up in South Portland, Maine, and graduated from Keene State College with a degree in Environmental Studies. He worked as a lead operator for an environmental service company after graduation, later worked as a technician for a water treatment company and now works part-time in the plumbing/HVAC world as a subcontractor. For Andrew, work has never been about “building a career;” it has merely been the means to do what he really cares about.
It was his passions, convictions, and faith in Christ that eventually inspired him to start Living To L.A.S.T., where he ultimately feels his heart to be. It is his belief that in friendships with men, talk can often be cheap. If we want to be better men, we have to take action together to make a lasting change around us and in us. In his spare time, he enjoys mountain biking, indoor rock climbing, and just about anything outside.

Rodrigo Palacios
Serving with Living To L.A.S.T. - Living to Last is more than an organization, it’s real people building a lasting brotherhood and getting involved with the communities. I’m so thankful to be part of this great purpose!
Ben Smith
Serving with Living To L.A.S.T. - Not only do I get to hang out and meet some really cool guys. But I also get to give back to the community and help some really great people who could use a slight hand up. The guys in L2L have become more like family. I am blessed to be able to call them my brothers.
Adam Nailor
Serving with Living To L.A.S.T. - Living To L.A.S.T. is a non-profit on the outside but the mission is a deep connection with other brothers in our communities. We come together to help the overlooked or less fortunate in the community but forge friendships for a lifetime. We have something that I’ve looked for and wanted but didn’t find until now.
Connor Lyons
During my few years spent with Living To L.A.S.T., I’ve learned a lot of new things. From building mega ramps for the people in need, to helping update someone's house so they can qualify for house insurance. But what I really love building the most is building a true brotherhood with the guys in this group.
Clarke Giltner
Serving with Living to Last the past few years has been a testament to God's design to building a brotherhood that desires to grow close as brothers, simultaneously extending our affection for each other, our knowledge of skilled trades, and the saving knowledge of Christ. Serving with our hands, those who are overlooked in the community, inviting any man (young or old) to join a brotherhood of saints to learn what it means to be a man in the arena.
Aaron Gant
After joining Living To L.A.S.T., it didn’t take long for me to realize that this was a great opportunity to not only serve our community but to serve and be served by some fellow brothers in Christ. Having the privilege to serve alongside these men provides a sense of unity among us even though we all come together with different stories and backgrounds.
