While at Syracuse, he served as President of the New York Beta Chapter of Phi Kappa Psi and was an executive board member of Habitat for Humanity, where he led multiple Gulf Coast reconstruction trips following major hurricanes.

He earned his J.D. from the University of Illinois College of Law, where he competed nationally on the school’s moot court and mock trial teams and was elected to and served on the Law School Student Executive Board Committee.

Andrew began his legal career clerking for the Honorable Judge Lee Smalley Edmon, former Presiding Judge of the Los Angeles County Superior Court, where he worked on complex civil and class action matters including the Toyota Brake Pedal Class Action Lawsuits. He later practiced personal injury law at Van Law Firm in Las Vegas before joining Gold Medal Injury Law.
