About
About Andy
25-year payroll and HR operator. AI practitioner. Still building.
Founder and CEO of Axiom Human Resource Solutions. Twenty-five years inside payroll and HR — not advising from the outside, but doing the work. Now building the AI-powered version of what HR firms should look like. The rest of this page explains what that actually means.
He went and learned it himself.
Most HR and payroll firm owners are not doing what Andy is doing with AI.
They're hiring someone to handle the AI stuff. Andy went and learned it himself. He has completed hundreds of hours of AI training — deep technical work in prompt engineering, agent orchestration, workflow automation, n8n, voice agents, and agentic systems.
He built the tools his own company runs on. Not as a side experiment — as the actual infrastructure Axiom operates on every day.
He runs AI agents that process invoices, pull insights from client tickets, analyze sales calls, and route content automatically. He did it himself because that's the only way he knows how to do anything.
What he actually learned
AI agents Andy built and runs
"Andy spent the last several years actually learning it — not delegating it, not attending a luncheon about it, but putting in the hours. These are the credentials. They matter because they represent a pattern: a 25-year operator who refuses to outsource his own expertise."
The public bet
He has made a public bet that he will own a robot by 2028. He is not joking.
His firm is a UKG Ready Preferred Partner and Authorized Reseller. For anything UKG Ready specific, see ukgreadyimplementation.com.
He Shows Up Here Too
The same instinct that built a 25-person company also shows up on Sunday mornings and in committee rooms. Community is just another word for accountability.
Holy Cross Lutheran Church
Andy serves at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Indianapolis.
He has been on the Voters Representative Board for three years. Not an easy committee. He's still there.
Search Committees
Andy has served on multiple search committees — including the youth pastor search that brought Pastor Joe to the church.
He is currently active in the search for the Pastoral Associate. Serving on search committees is excellent training for running a business. Both require discernment, patience, and the ability to sit through a lot of meetings.
The Local Dispatch
Andy writes publicly about HR, AI, and whatever else is on his mind in The Local Dispatch.
Small-town newspaper style. Big ideas. No corporate tone.
Community shows up in the writing too — not just the committee rooms.
Why does this matter on a professional site?
Because people hire people, not resumes. He brings the same seriousness and follow-through to search committees and board seats that he does to payroll implementations and AI builds. That's the pattern.
The Rest of It
The stuff that doesn't fit on a credential card.
Not a bio section. Just honest notes on what Andy actually does when he's not building AI systems or running a 25-person company.
Coaches Xander's basketball team. One of his favorite things. Results: mixed. Commitment: unwavering.
Season ticket holder for 20+ years. Boiler Up. Shows up anyway.
He and Xander took up golf together. Xander is already better. It's early.
Two dogs — Huckleberry, an 11-year-old black lab mix, and Beau, a 13-year-old chocolate lab/Rottweiler mix, both have seen every version of this company.
Likes sitting in the sun and the pool with Xander. Not everything has to be optimized.
Spends most of his time working and learning, always looking at what's next. This is not a complaint.
Working Genius is Wonder + Invention, the Innovative Dreamer.
CliftonStrengths: Restorative, Deliberative, Competition, Significance, Futuristic.
He coaches a basketball team, coaches himself on AI, and still takes meetings on his phone while standing in a field at a Purdue game that might be going sideways. He wouldn't have it any other way.
1996 – 2000
B.S. Economics
Purdue University — Krannert School of Management
West Lafayette, Indiana. Boiler Up. Still shows up anyway.
The degree taught him how to think about systems and incentives. Twenty-five years of payroll and HR taught him everything else. He is still learning — that part has not changed.
Operator. Founder. Still in it.
Andy Zelt is the founder and CEO of Axiom Human Resource Solutions, a boutique UKG Ready Preferred Partner and Authorized Reseller based in Indianapolis, Indiana. He founded Axiom in 2011 after nearly a decade in PEO and benefits leadership, where he watched company leaders spend more time managing HR paperwork than running their businesses. He decided to fix that. Twenty-five years later, he's still fixing it — just with better tools. Axiom serves 400+ clients across healthcare, manufacturing, construction, and other industries. Typical client: 50 to 2,000 employees. The mission hasn't changed: help companies win with technology, backed by humans who care.
