Hailing from nearly 25 years in the world of film, television,
documentary, and commercial production, Andy has always had a
passion for storytelling, no matter the size of the package. That
passion for storytelling led Andy to podcasting 10 years ago, with
which he immediately fell in love. Now, as partner at TruStory FM,
he’s enjoying storytelling and conversation through their wide
variety of shows, including The Next Reel and Marvel Movie
Minute.
