Andrew worked as a designer at Dan Peter Kopple & Associates in Philadelphia where he worked on the B-C Terminal Expansion at Philadelphia International Airport, and the renovation of Amtrak’s historic 30th Street Station. Andrew got his start designing and building boats. He designed and built a 40’ racing catamaran which he then campaigned nationally in ProSail, the first professional sailing series in the US.
