Andy was a passionate Rugby player, 4 years, and proud to be a starter on the team that won the National Championship in 2004, the same year Andy graduated with a 3.8 GPA. Andy applied and was accepted by the University of Oregon with an Alumni Scholarship and chose Political Science as his major. Andy continued to play Rugby, and like all Ducks, was a rabid fan. When asked at Christmas what he wished, it was always tickets to whatever Bowl game Oregon was playing in that year. Andy graduated in 2008.
