Interesting Fact: Andrew enjoys travelling immensely. On a trip to Australia in 2002, he joined a childhood friend off the coast for a Great White Shark diving excursion. There was nothing between them and the sharks except a small cage. Needless to say, Andrew now has a wife and son, and his days of Shark Diving are over. *There is no correlation between Andrew’s penchant for adventure and his ability to remove the risk from the portfolios of his clients!
