As the son of two park rangers, Andy built a lot of forts as a kid. After earning a Design Strategy MBA and working in tech, a late-twenties-life-crisis drove some questionable decisions, including five years and 200,000 miles living out of his Toyota Tacoma. He now resides in Bend, Oregon, with his partner and their dogs, Dusty Bottoms and Bea, working as a freelance writer, photographer, and producer.
