Andy went to Southeast Lineman Training Center in Trenton, Georgia to become a Lineman, graduating in December of 2016. Upon graduating he came home to be with family as his grandfather was ill. Anybody who knew Andy, knew he was his own person. Andy loved his family and friends and worked hard at everything he did. He enjoyed his toys, cars, motorcycles and jet skis. Andy has worked hard since he was about 12 to save money and take care of himself. He received his Class A license at 19 while in Georgia and on his 21st birthday went to NYS DMV to get his license updated. He made sure he had enough money to pay his own way and took much pride in that. Andy has worked full-time since he graduated. He always had a job doing whatever it takes. He was currently employed with the Village of Clinton, Jury Lawn Care and helped his aunt & uncle at Pryor TEC services when needed.
