Although Andy was exposed to photography early on in his life, it was mostly always about simple documentation of the adventures that him and his friends found themselves on. Whether rock climbing, snowboarding, or surfing, Andy was drawn to the life that the outdoors offered and knew that he wanted to spend his time there.

Before long he would be given the opportunity to document some world renowned athletes and start to evolved into the creative powerhouse he is known as today. During our conversation we talk about his new Tequila and Spirits company as well as podcast called Wild Common, how he continues to evolve and reinvent himself as a creative, and the advice he gives to others chasing their passions in life.
