Andrew was born in San Francisco and grew up in the East Bay. After having gone to church sporadically since he was 6 years old at the invitation of a neighbor, he accepted Christ when he was 13 years old (after wearing out a number of children’s workers and youth volunteers along the way). Before joining Creekside, he worked for two years as a Christian high school teacher and then as a Global Outreach coordinator at a local church. He joined Creekside at the end of August in 2020, and now serves on staff as the College & Young Adults Pastor. He loves music, films/movies, hiking, photography and videography, traveling, and reading. Most importantly, he is joyfully married to the love of his life, Bethany.

His life verse is:
• Acts 20:24 – But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
