Growing up in St. Louis Missouri, Andy was immersed in the sporting life at an early age.  A multi-sport athlete in high school, he was offered a scholarship to play football at Purdue University.  Four years and two Bowl Championships later, Andy had a brief stint in the USFL before starting a career in the Travel/Hospitality industry.  After relocating to Arizona, he owned and operated a company that provided services for corporate groups traveling to Arizona.  Raising and coaching two sons who are as passionate about sports as he is has kept Andy involved with youth sports, thus bringing business and sports together with Skyhawks in Tucson.
