Andrew was born April 27, 1971 in New York City. At the age of five he was selected to appear in the Merchant/Ivory documentary Sweet Sounds, the experience of which changed his life forever. After falling in love with acting at the Collegiate School in New York and studying filmmaking at Vassar College, Andrew was offered a scholarship to the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute, which he promptly turned down to begin a twenty-year odyssey through as many creative disciplines as he could lay hands on. 

From typography, visual design and six years as an intelligence and counter-espionage contractor, to animation, commercial voice work and direction, his unprecedented apprenticeship would lead him right back to where he began... Only now he was the documentarian rather than the subject.
