Andy has harbored a fervent enthusiasm for health and performance since his early years. Growing up in Brawley, California, he was immersed in sports, which instilled in him the profound impact of leading a healthy lifestyle. Andy's upbringing in a family with a father who was a golf professional afforded him the opportunity to engage in golf from a young age. However, his journey in athletics was just getting started.

In 2000, Andy made a significant move from San Jose, California, to Chesterton, Indiana, marking the beginning of his wrestling career. Throughout high school and college, Andy excelled in wrestling, achieving remarkable milestones such as being crowned National Champion in his junior year and earning the title of State Runner Up in his senior year. The unwavering work ethic cultivated through wrestling, coupled with the doors it opened, remains etched in Andy's memories.

Andy's passion for coaching blossomed during his involvement in high school wrestling. He dedicated his time to mentoring youth club members and contributing to youth programs. It wasn't long after completing his education that Andy discovered his calling to pursue professional coaching through CrossFit. Initially focused on competitive CrossFit, Andy viewed coaching as a means to invest his energy and time towards becoming a top CrossFit athlete.

In 2018, Andy transitioned from competitive CrossFit to a renewed commitment to coaching. He immersed himself in the CrossFit community, acquiring Level 1 & Level 2 Certificates. However, as Andy's coaching journey progressed, his interest deepened in understanding health and performance on a profound level.

In addition to his CrossFit credentials, Andy pursued further education, graduating from Massage Therapy School and obtaining certifications from the Gray Institute and Postural Restoration. These diverse disciplines laid the groundwork for Andy to expand his knowledge of the human body. Andy worked as a "flexologist" at Stretch Lab, aiding individuals in overcoming injuries and enhancing range of motion through stretching, manual therapy, and corrective exercises.

Andy firmly believes that confronting life's challenges builds resilience and shapes individuals into who they aspire to be. He views obstacles as opportunities for personal growth and self-discovery. Andy considers himself fortunate for the opportunities he has encountered and the challenges he has surmounted, which have endowed him with a unique capacity to connect with and care for others.
