I have had the pleasure of working with Andrew and Kukulski Publishing for the last 4 years. Our postseason programs are always a huge undertaking and I am blessed to have their help. Andrew is a great communicator and anytime I need something adjusted he is happy to help. I cannot do what I do without the teamwork and dedication shown by Andrew and his team; I would recommend them to anyone looking to streamline publications.

During this time, the quality produce has been second to none. Their customer service and dedication to providing not only the association but the student athletes, coaches and fans with a program that can be cherished for years to come to has been fantastic.

Tyler Dunkel, Assistant Director of Sports

New Mexico Activities Association (NMAA)

Andrew worked extremely hard for the Arizona Interscholastic Association in making sure our championship materials were perfect. He spent countless hours creating graphics for championship merchandise and on the phone with our school’s athletic directors and coaches getting team photos for the souvenir programs. That’s something we could have never done on our own. It was always a pleasure to work with Andrew due to his dedication and our shared vision of promoting high school sports.

Seth Polansky, Director of Media Services

Arizona Interscholastic Association (AIA)

I worked with Andrew on an important project. He helped the Arizona Interscholastic Association relaunch the second longest running preseason high school football publication in America. We worked on the 50-plus page magazine every summer and couldn’t have asked for a better partner. Andrew’s strong work ethic allowed us to meet our deadlines despite the length of the magazine. And despite the challenges, he remained positive throughout our biggest project every summer.
