Andrew attended Lyndon State College. His journey through life was marked by service in the United States Marine Corps where he served as a non-commissioned officer. Andrew was medically discharged as a Sergeant. He carried the values and discipline of the Corps throughout his life.

As an avid skier from a young age, Andrew's passion for the slopes took him down the majestic slopes of Germany, Austria, Switzerland, New Jersey, and Vermont. Those who skied alongside him remember his infectious enthusiasm, fearlessness, and the joy he found in the crisp mountain air.

Beyond his remarkable adventures, Andrew was known for his generous nature and quick wit. His sense of humor heightened the lives of those around him, bringing smiles and laughter even in the most challenging times.
