Outside BERK
Originally from Massachusetts, Andrew has spent the last 20 years living in Toronto, Oslo, Calgary, and Seattle, and traveling to the Arctic, Middle East, Europe, and Africa. He is regarded as a clutch player in pub trivia, but his dreams of competitive success with Scrabble have been undone by his uncanny ability to draw all vowels. He is passionate about scotch, learning new languages, cooking without following recipes, and finding unusual things to eat in new cities.
