Assistant Program Director & Mornings
Hometown: Originally from Troy, Ohio
Height: 6'8" (without heels)
Birthday: September 2nd ... a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
Craziest moment: My birth (over 10 lbs worth!!)
Worst habit: I bite my nails during movies...and unintentionally put my knees in the back of the person's seat in front of me. SORRY!
Most embarrassing moment: Losing the Altrusa Club's "Literacy Sting" Spelling Bee, misspelling the word 'famish'...wait, actually, that was some else's (who will remain nameless) most embarrassing moment! HA HA HA!
Biggest star you've met: Kelly Clarkson, Reba, Willie Nelson, Garth Brooks, Sara Evans, and Bruce Campbell (from the "Evil Dead" movies. We interviewed him here at the station).
Brush with fame: Being on a worldwide televised wrestling pay-per-view: WWF "King of the Ring '93" at the Nutter Center (you can see me in the front row during the Crush match). That's pretty dorky, but I was on TV. I've been on TV since, I just don't remember where and when for some reason.
Brush with death: Starting to drink a glass of Clorox Bleach in the middle of the night when I was 12. For some reason, I thought it was water!! I'm OK now...yeah right. And, oh yeah, the time when I was 8 and sprayed Dr. Scholl's medicated foot powder all around my room (with the help of a circulating fan), pretending it was smoke. I was playing fireman! I just got a new fireman's hat with a siren on top for Christmas...go figure!
Accomplishments: Being able to survive drinking bleach, inhaling foot powder, and making it through detention in Junior High (sent there for talking in class)!
High point: The birth of my daughter, Mallory.
Pet peeve: People who take credit for other's hard work and accomplishments.
Something you can't live without: My daughter, Mallory, my family, the WWE, air, food, and all my wonderful friends.
Greatest influence: My dad (The Randy). The Donald (Donald Trump).
Andy's daughter, Mallory, loves Karate!

Favorite movies: "Star Wars" - the entire series is awesome. Plus, most horror movies - I really like "Halloween" and "The Exorcist". Love stories? Yeah, I like "Serendipity".
Favorite car: I drive a Chevy Avalanche. Most cars are too small for me...there's usually not enough leg room.
