Andy is a news writer for the [[MKWii]] player's page and a times updater as well. Although he tries to be humorous and do a good job from time to time, sometimes school can be a bit... time consuming. Andy has been a member of the message board since early 2009 and is a regular poster in the General, [[MKSC]], MKWii, MK3DS, and Board Problems sections. He stalks all forums though. From time to time you'll probably catch him in the chatroom too.

Andy is a former MKWii player before his retirement in August 2010, but the highlight of his career in kart definitely lies in MKSC. He climbed from #39 to #3 in 7 months in 2011. And the gap to Sebastian an Terrence still continues to close.  

Andy is a former MKWii player before his retirement from the game in August 2010, but the highlight of his career in kart definitely lies in MKSC. He climbed from #39 to #3 in 7 months in 2011. It was another burst of play in early 2012 that sent him past Sebastian Stellmacher to claim #1 overall. Since then he's continued to play and now has created a significant gap between himself and second place.

 

 

Andy is currently studying physics and math and hopes to become a successful theoretical physicist/cosmologist. He's got a ways to go though as he's only 19 years old and a sophomore/junior in college. On the side, he really enjoys reading philosophy and playing MKSC time trials as well as occasional head to the gym or play tennis or racquetball. Fun fact: he was given a unicycle as a Christmas gift while a young child, and since then has conquered riding it and knows how to juggle at the same time as well. Andy is also a marathon finisher (3'46) and has traveled around the world.

=== The Meet ===

=== The Meet ===

Probably Andy is best well-known from his famous meetup with MKSC #1 [[Terrence Fenner]]. On July 5th 2011, he traveled over to the Champion's home and watched Fenner play live while live streaming the whole thing. Since then, the community has learned and harnessed the power of the ironing board. Also of note at that meet, Andy revealed his talent to sing along randomly to MK songs as they come up. Expect a song about Sky Garden to shadow behind the famous Rainbow Road song this contest!

Andy is also a familiar face from the meetup with former MKSC #1 [[Terrence Fenner]]. On July 5th 2011, he traveled over to Fenner's home and watched him play live while live streaming to the rest of the community. Since then, the community has learned and harnessed the power of the ironing board, and many PRs owe their performance to the ironing board (even PRs involving eating contests).
