Fun facts: Andrew has traveled extensively internationally, including all continents except Africa and Antarctica. His father, a chemical engineer who worked in international trade, took Andrew’s family on business trips around the world, which included some unique places. He visited Tehran, Iran in 1978, shortly before the Islamic Revolution. He also visited Canton and Peking/Beijing China in 1978. At the time, Andrew’s father was told they were the first U.S. family to be granted visas to China. Andrew spent the summer of 1982 in Sao Paolo, Brasil, which led to his love of Brasilian football/soccer.
