Andy and his family moved to Jacksonville in 1965 where he was pastor of the United Pentecostal Church until 1981. During this time he was involved with several business endeavors such as Andy's Mobile Homes, building of the original Holiday Inn, Gibson's Store (which was among the first discount stores in Jacksonville), Andy's Lumber & Hardware, and registered Braham cattle. Since 1989 the Fannette family business has been Century 21 Action Team. Andy enjoyed buying and selling land and the development of some of these properties.
