Andrew started his running career in the early 1990’s, at the young age of 14, when he competed in cross county, track and road racing while attending Fountain Valley High School in Southern California.

​

He then went on to pursue a degree in Exercise Physiology (B.S. 2000) from Adams State University in Alamosa, Colorado. While in college, Andrew’s commitment to the sport of running continued to grow, as he competed in cross-country and track, specializing in the middle-distance events.

​

Post-graduation, Andrew moved to Mammoth Lakes, California, where he created and coached a non-profit running club called the High Sierra Striders. He has since combined the local and professional running clubs under its current title, ASICS Mammoth Track Club, where he is the head coach. 

​

Andrew currently resides in Mammoth Lakes, California, with his wife Deena (Olympic Marathon bronze medalist and American Record holder in the marathon) and their daughter, Piper Bloom.
