About Me



Is this thing on..." Andy here... Pretty lucky guy--laid back and relatively optimistic. I love my friends--friendships are a priority. I have a very random assortment of friends and groups that I hang out with--I'd like to think I could pull up a chair to almost any table and hang in there... Back to that lucky thing... I'm lucky enough to know at least a few things that make me happy, and several of them have taken me around the globe, literally, with some of my favorite people-- I am a clogger (American Racket, baby!), I work in the Arts(PR and Marketing for the Orlando Opera Company), I love Southern Ways--from music to dance to food to that hospitality-- I love to travel... went to UF in Gainesville, grad school at FSU in Tallahassee, lived in New York City, and now I'm in Orlando. If you see me out, don't hesitate to say hi! Its always an adventure when Andy comes out to play :)

My Interests

My interests? I like to drop it like its hot... Everything is hotter in the Sunshine State. Love the water... Waterskiing, Barefooting, and Wakeboarding... Clogging / Performing... Traveling... Making Memories...
