Andy grew up with salt water in his veins and Buffett tunes in his ears.  He developed a love for the outdoors growing up on the Alabama Gulf Coast as he enjoyed fishing, hunting, archery, biking, boating, and spending every possible moment outdoors.  He later earned a bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering and has designed and managed Capital Projects in the Food and Beverage Industry as well as the Refrigeration Industry.  Andy had (recently sold) a 1999 4Runner that he built from the ground up and loved to push it to it's limits in his off time every chance he got.  Some of Andy's more notable contributions to the Toyota offroading community are his writeups for the use of an "Electric Cooling Fan with Variable Speed Controller", the infamous "3rd Gen 4Runner Lift using TRD Tundra Components", his documentation of his "Rear Bumper Buildup", amoung his continuous work to find new and innovative solutions to make his 4Runner more capable offroad.  Married with two sons, Andy looks forward to teaching his boys about his respect and admiration for the great outdoors, as well as getting another Toyota as an offroad project in the near future.
