Fun Facts: Andrew is an unassuming, mild-mannered person—that is, until you get him on the river, when his spirit comes alive. His love for paddling shines through to everyone around him and his enthusiasm is infectious. This summer, Andrew will be teaching many of our playboating courses, as he has become one of our best playboaters. His favorite paddling memory is playboating with his brothers back in Kentucky.
