Andrew Joseph Stack III of the Scofield Farms neighborhood in North Austin, who worked as an embedded software consultant.[1][2] He grew up in Pennsylvania and had two brothers and a sister, was orphaned at age 4, spent some time at a Catholic orphanage.[3] He graduated from the Milton Hershey School in 1974 and studied engineering at Harrisburg Area Community College from 1975 to 1977 but did not graduate.[4][5] His first marriage to Ginger Stack, which ended in divorce, produced a daughter, Samantha Bell.[3][6] In 2007 Stack had remarried to Sheryl Housh who had a daughter from a previous marriage.[3]

In 1985, Stack incorporated Prowess Engineering along with his first wife. In 1994, he failed to file a state tax return. In 1998, the Stacks divorced and a year later his wife filed Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, citing IRS liabilities totaling nearly $126,000. In 1995, Stack started Software Systems Service Corp, which was suspended in 2004 for non payment of state taxes.[3]

Stack obtained a pilot's license in 1994 and owned a Velocity Elite XL-RG plane, in addition to the Piper PA-28 Cherokee (aircraft registration: N2889D) he flew into the Echelon building.[3] He had been using the Georgetown Municipal Airport for four and a half years and paid $236.25 a month to rent a hangar.[7] There has been speculation that Stack replaced seats on his aircraft with extra drums of fuel prior to the collision.[8]

Stack's accountant confirmed that he was being audited for failure to report income at the time of the incident.[9]
