Coach Andrew’s first season of rowing was winter his sophomore year at Notre Dame. Indoor erging. Not deterred by hard work, he returned for the on-water season, rowing till graduation in 2017.

After college Coach Andrew returned to his home town of Portland, Oregon. There he continued rowing and competing with the Willamette Rowing Club for another four years. He also worked as a High School Assistant Athletic Director and Cross Country Coach.

Coach Andrew moved to Rochester, Minnesota summer 2021. He started as assistant coach, then was quickly promoted to head coach the fall of 2021.

When his eyes are not focused on the water, he is watching the skies. Around Silver Lake he commonly spots kingfishers, killdeers, bald eagles, green herons, and the great blue herons that love to fish in the shallow waters. Other hobbies include hiking, running, camping, and kayaking;  sometimes all at the same time.
