Early in life, Andrew raced motorcycles competitively with some success, boasting a nitro methane fueled dragster capable of 150 MPH, back when that was considered fast. He then changed course, forsaking the track for the waves. Becoming much the yachtsman, he was a life member of Pequonnock Yacht Club, and served in a variety of offices including Commodore in 1983. He was also recognized in 2014 by the United States Power Squadron for 50 years of membership, achieving Advanced Pilot rating. He taught basic boat handling for USPS for many years, sharing his love of boating and navigation with others. He proved his aptitude for navigation when he won the Bishop Cup Race in 1980 in which he took great pride. For his career, he was a truck driver, working for Hoffman Fuel Co. and later for Chevron Oil, in variety of roles. For his pass-time, he enjoyed playing pinochle with friends.
