Andrew was raised as the son of a minister in a Pentecostal Christian Church in New Jersey. Andrew studied Bible at the Evangelical Christian Wheaton College and obtained his Master of Divinity from Princeton Seminary. While religion was his life's passion, Andrew suffered greatly from anxiety, depression, and guilt about his sexuality. After a slow and painful process, Andrew awakened to a new spiritual experience through secular humanism, meditation, psychedelics, and sexuality. Andrew offers workshops, writings, support, and coaching that can be found at lifeafterdogma.org
