All about Andrew
Andrew and his wife, Shana, have been married for 12 years. They have a daughter, Hallie, who loves art and swimming, and a son, Jack, who loves anything that involves the outdoors.
Fast Five:
- Coffee or tea? Coffee*
- It's dinner: Italian or Chinese? Italian, but preferably Cajun
- Football or Baseball? Both
- Phone call or text? Email
- Huskers or Huskers? 😉 NO. (Mikal gasps!) The Ohio State Buckeyes! Actually now I’m a Maverick and a Bruin**
Favorites:
- Dessert? Nearly any fruit pie or fruit crisp
- Sports team? Philadelphia anything, Eagles, Phillies, Flyers and Sixers. Go Philly!***
- Holiday? Christmas
- Song? Too many good ones to have a favorite. Maybe Rattle by Elevation worship?
- Book? Again, so many good ones to have a favorite. Most anything by Stephen Ambrose, also The Boys In the Boat by Daniel James Brown
FCA:
- Why did you join FCA? Sports and FCA has had a tremendous impact on my faith walk, and how I’ve come to know Christ. I’m so glad to now be a part of the ministry, to lead and disciple others through FCA.
- What is your favorite FCA memory? Being baptized by Wes Yeary at Baylor University.
- What is your passion within FCA? To see college athletes accept Christ and grow in a relationship with Him as Lord. Such an important time of life, and how amazing it is when that time is directed by Christ.
More:
- What did you want to be when you grew up? A firefighter, especially a smoke jumper, who doesn’t want to fight fires and also jump out of an airplane into the fires?
- If the Lord gave you a new calling outside of FCA, what do you think it would be? Coaching, God allowed me to use coaching and teaching as a ministry in the past.
- What is your favorite Scripture? Again, so many, but John 3:16, really captures God and His love for us, anyone who believes in Him, because of His love only.

**This second part of the answer is a wise answer considering the campuses he's working on...
***There is some second-guessing of this hire--we're thankful for God's grace
