At the age of 11, Andy knew he wanted to become a Navy SEAL and eventually realized this dream in 2002. After being shot at close range, he then transitioned into a role as a BUD/S instructor before deploying for his second tour in 2008. Since he was medically retired in 2013, Andy has become a wingsuit base jumper and sky diver, pilot for CrossFit HQ, avid bow hunter, Jiu Jitsu competitor and now the host of the successful podcast, Cleared Hot.
