Andrew grew up in rural Upstate New York State. After studying Environmental Sciences at SUNY Plattsburgh, he worked for 10 years in Latin America as an environmental specialist in international development projects.  Most of his projects focused on the interface between the sustainable use of natural resources and the conservation of tropical biodiversity.  One of his favorite jobs was developing and integrating new techniques for cultivating coffee in an environmentally sustainable way on a Guatemalan Coffee farm that he managed for a few years. Andrew received a Master’s degree in Conservation Biology and Sustainable Development at the University of Wisconsin where he concentrated his studies on conservation and economics.  Andrew enjoys being outdoors hunting, bird watching, fishing, and exploring.
