Part William Wallace, part Forrest Gump. But, mostly Gump...

After graduating from Northwestern University, Andy avoided getting a real job for 7 years by playing soccer professionally. He taught martial arts and earned a Third Degree Black Belt. Then he served as a cop on the Tactical Response Unit for the Phoenix Police Department for 7 more years. He won the Gold Medal in the Toughest Competitor Alive event at the U.S. Police and Fire Championships. Andy is now in Hollywood working as an actor, model, host, and fitness personality. He writes a monthly article for Muscle & Fitness Magazine and creates video series for clients like Men's Fitness, GNC, and NASM. He started lifting weights in 1992 and started as a Personal Trainer at Bally's Chicago in 1999. He is one of the Head Fitness Instructors for all the police departments in Arizona. Andy has learned by trial and error, the hard way- by grinding it out every day for 25 years. He speaks English, French, and Spanish.
