Andrew began the study of classical guitar when he was thirteen years old. Douglas Murphy taught Andrew in weekly private lessons from 1990 through Andrew’s graduation from Skyline High School in 1995. Leonard Wong encouraged Andrew in the study of jazz guitar and ensemble work with the flute during high school. Preferring to stay close to home, Andrew began his college education at California State University, Hayward. There he won a scholarship in music and studied guitar under James Bertram. He left the San Francisco Bay Area in 1997 for isolated study in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. There he experimented with rock and folk guitar while maintaining a busy solo performance schedule. Andrew moved again in 1998 to the California coast. He studied guitar under Dr. Don Henriquez and Dr. Michel Walsh at California State University, Humboldt. Andrew has two CD recordings, Guitar and Further Experiences, which were produced in 1998-1999 and 2000 respectively. In 2000, Andrew returned to the Sierras where he continues his study of classical guitar. He performs and teaches guitar in the areas surrounding his home in Portola, California. He has also traveled for performances in the San Francisco Bay Area; Salt Lake City, Utah; and Washington D.C. Andrew is an accomplished composer, creating works of contemporary music for many different arrangements.
