After suffering from severe idiopathic scoliosis as a young adult, Andrew was given another chance to live life to the fullest when he underwent a partial spinal fusion.  From then on fitness became a staple in his life even if he didn't see it as a career path initially.  

Upon graduating college it suddenly dawned on him to enter the fitness industry.  After 6 years of instructing exercise full-time, Andrew began working for himself and became certified as a personal trainer and nutrition coach.  To this day, Andrew still can't get enough of health and fitness and continues to read about it everyday.

Andrew and his wife Haley of 11 years live in Peoria with their two daughters Amelia and Charlotte.  Andrew is a proud father and outside of fitness loves espresso, mountain biking, and Formula 1.
