A little more about Andy…
BS in art education from Moorhead State University
“Fun” fact: I drove carts at the MSP airport for a summer in college. I was sitting at a gate waiting for my rider one night when another, older driver said she wanted to cover that gate. Not really caring, I moved on… only to find out later she had insider info! Turns out I had been waiting to pick up Prince, who was a frequent flyer of Northwest at the time. He was known for tipping very well… and, it turns out, spraying the driver with his perfume. I had just been minutes away from a good tip and smelling like Prince!
Favorite vacation spot: La Casa del Mundo on Lake Atitlán, in Guatemala, and the north shore of Minnesota.
Favorite band: toad the wet sprocket
Favorite weekend activity: A triple long run on trails, starting at Great River Bluff state park, then heading to Whitewater State Park, and finishing at Bluffside Park in Winona.
Favorite season: Autumn.
