With over 25 years of experience in film, television, and commercial production, Andy has cultivated an enduring passion for storytelling in all its forms. His enthusiasm for the craft began in his youth when he and his friends started making their own movies in grade school. After studying film at the University of Colorado Boulder, Andy wrote, directed, and produced several short films while also producing indie features like Netherbeast Incorporated and Ambush at Dark Canyon.
Andy has been on the production team for award-winning documentaries such as The Imposter and The Joe Show, as well as TV shows like Investigation Discovery’s Deadly Dentists and Nat Geo’s Inside the Hunt for the Boston Bombers. Over a decade ago, he started podcasting with Pete and immediately embraced the medium. Now, as a partner at TruStory FM, Andy looks forward to more storytelling through their wide variety of shows.
Throughout his career, Andy has passed on his knowledge by teaching young minds the crafts of screenwriting, producing, editing, and podcasting.
Outside of work, Andy is a family man who enjoys a good martini, a cold beer, a nice cup o’ joe. And always, of course, a great movie.

We continue our Cinema Centennial: 1925’s Pioneering Visions series with the movie with possibly the most confusing history of releases, Rupert Julian’s adaptation of Gaston Leroux’s classic novel “The Phantom of the Opera.”
The members voted and decided that for this month, we should discuss Fred Niblo’s silent classic, the 1925 Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ, which holds its ground against Heston’s version for sure—particularly in the chariot race.
We continue our Cinema Centennial: 1925’s Pioneering Visions series with King Vidor’s The Big Parade, a groundbreaking WWI epic that shocked 1925 audiences with its intimate portrait of soldiers’ lives before confronting the brutal realities of modern warfare.
