Andrew grew up in the Richmond area and was drawn to the James from a very early age. What began as a mysterious and magical body of water in his life eventually became one of the strongest and most consistent connectors to his community, his career, and his love of music.

Andrew gives us a sneak peek into his world of trail management with the James River Park System, discusses the ins and outs of how a trail is a living, growing thing that must be maintained, shares his journey as a blues musician and harmonica player, and never stops advocating for the protection of the river and our natural spaces.
