Prior to law school he received his B.A. from Purdue University - West Lafayette in English Literature. Andrew earned his J.D. from Indiana University - Bloomington where he spent a semester as an exchange student at the London School of Economics.
Prior to joining Stock Legal, Andrew practiced at two large law firms in Washington D.C. before returning to the Midwest to represent a large agricultural producer, a goal inspired by his family who has farmed the same Indiana ground since 1824.

Giving him an appreciation of deals from both sides of the table, he decided to leverage this experience and return to practice so that clients can have the same positive outcomes.
