Originally from Durban, South Africa, Andrew has built his career around a passion for adventure, the outdoors, and life on the water. An avid rugby player and accomplished mountaineer, he began diving at just 15 years old and went on to work as an outdoor adventure instructor, leading rock climbing and kayaking excursions before becoming a dive instructor and dive boat captain at a South African dive resort. He later expanded his experience in the United Kingdom while pursuing his enthusiasm for ice climbing and mountaineering in Scotland.
Andrew brought his expertise to the Bahamas, where he spent several years running dive operations and crewing 100-foot charter yachts throughout Nassau and the Exumas. Since relocating to the United States in 2010, he has served as a captain, first mate, engineer, and sportfishing captain, with extensive experience in premier tournaments including the Lyford Cay International Fishing Tournament, the Caveman Slam, and Southeast Bahamas competitions.
