Andrew was born and raised in a small town in Los Banos California with his older brother. He grew up being encouraged to use his imagination, writing stories and drawing. After graduating high school, he decided to venture out into the world and would do so by enlisting in the Navy, and then nine years later joining the Coast Guard. Andrew served in the military for just under twenty two years, in which his last billet he worked as a recruiter for the Coast Guard in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. There, he met his Co-Author and decided to start writing novels and children books. Andrews' hopes and dreams are that the children books and novels bring joy, excitement and lessons to all that read them, and that his writing excites the next generation of writers for continued world creation and storytelling.
