Active in many areas of the larger campus community, he served for ten semesters as a Term Assistant Teaching Professor for the Moreau First Year Experience seminar and now co-instructs Mendoza's BAUG 13100 Maximizing Mendoza course for Mendoza first-year students.
A "Double Domer", Andy earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in history from the College of Arts & Letters and a Master of Nonprofit Administration degree from Mendoza.

In his spare time, Andy serves on the board of directors for the Youth Service Bureau of St. Joseph County and the Friends of the Raclin Murphy Museum of Art. He is an avid traveler (most recently to Wales), gardener, British and Notre Dame history buff, and trivia enthusiast. He enjoys time with his nephews, Tucker and Myles, and is a proud adopted dog dad to Grace, his third German Shepherd Dog.
