Andrew is a Nashville native that grew up going on creek walks and exploring the woods around his house. Serving others and working to create a more equitable world were values that were instilled in him from a young age. After graduating from Hendrix College in Arkansas, he worked at a small college in North Carolina where he met his wife. When she went to South Africa, Andrew moved to California where he received his Masters in Religious Studies. He moved back to Nashville in 2010 and has spent his working life in the nonprofit world. Before joining The Nashville Food Project, Andrew worked for the United Methodist Church and PENCIL.

When he's not working, Andrew loves to cook, dabble in linocuts, read, and spend time playing with his wife and kids.
