BIOGRAPHY
Andrew attended university in New Zealand for 3 years and after careful consideration of the lectures on offer after 10 am and before 3 pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and Linguistics.
In 1994, after an application for a position as the Queen's philosopher was turned down, Andrew alongside Dwane van der Sluis, invented a double skinned inflatable sphere and developed the activity of rolling down hills. Over the next 12 years, Andrew ran the company that brought the activity to the world.
After exiting the company in 2006 Andrew wandered the earth for 12 months seeking out and destroying evil as he found it. (Turns out he didn't come across much evil so mainly rode his motorbike through parts of Canada and slept on his buddy's couch.)
Andrew believes the Chinese strategy game 'Go' should be taught in all schools, that freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose and that more funding should be put into teleportation research.
That's all.
