Andrew was born in Denver, Colorado. He then moved to California where he was raised. Living in San Diego and later San Francisco he attended grade school. In 1998, Andrew moved to Jacksonville, Florida where he attended Duncan U. Fletcher Senior High.

During the collegiate years, Andrew followed lifelong passions while continuing his studies. Andrew graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design from the University of North Florida in the fall of 2006.

Currently, Andrew lives half of the year in Playa Santana, Nicaragua at The Surf Sanctuary. He is working as a freelance web/print designer, surf/fishing guide and artist. Much of his inspiration is derived from the surroundings and daily life in Central America. His latest project- a collaboration with Tony Longobucco, was creating the first Nicaraguan surf company, Buitre.

Andrew lives in Santana half of the year, returning to Jacksonville, Florida during the off-season. In his spare time Andrew enjoys taking photos, sketching, making fish prints with his catch, creating other forms of fine art and helping others.
