Andy grew up in Oklahoma, but he’s not your average Okie. With a mother from England, he was raised with a deep exposure to – and appreciation for –British culture and customs, like fish and chips, Cadbury chocolate and Christmas crackers. He has had the chance to visit England once and looks forward to making many more visits in the future.

Originally introduced to technology by his father, Andy spent time exploring the IT space where his father worked when he was younger and continued learning about IT and technology throughout high school. The summer after graduation, Andy had the opportunity to join the Muskogee Public Schools IT Team and work on their new student laptops. These early experiences led him to studying digital forensics and cybersecurity at the Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology where he’s currently finishing up his bachelor’s degree.

Away from work, Andy enjoys playing story-driven video games, collecting fossils, minerals and geodes, as well as watching movies and television shows with his friends.
