Andrew moved out to Bozeman from Connecticut to go to MSU and take advantage of the local outdoor pursuits in the area. In college Andrew caught the entrepreneurship bug which ultimately led him to a passion for technology and software development, releasing several games and apps on the app store. Upon graduating, Andrew ventured out into the professional world as a software developer, but left that world early to travel back to Montana to work on smaller startups and part time consulting and helping entrepreneurs at the Blackstone Launchpad. Andrew is currently working on building great audio production tools at his startup Vaytricks. If he is not on his computer working you can find him skiing the cold smoke at Bridger Bowl.
