Andy is a Shorewood native and, once upon a time, was a copy editor for his high school newspaper, Shorewood Ripples. He's since discovered that he rather likes writing of all kinds, and has gone on to major in English at the College of Wooster (which is too small to have a journalism major), where he is entering his senior year.

Andy has also studied journalism at American University in Washington D.C., and his work has appeared in the Wooster Voice, The Biz and Third Coast Digest. In his spare time, he maintains a blog at http://tisdelstirades.blogspot.com.
