Andy has been a Vermont middle level educator for over 30 years. This year he will be serving as the Flexible Pathways Coordinator at the White River Valley Middle School. He grew up just over the mountain in Rochester, and he and his wife still call it home. He has one son who just started college in Florida, three grown daughters, and one grand-daughter (and 2 more on the way). He enjoys the change of seasons in Vermont and takes advantage of every opportunity to be outside during the summer months. Andy and his wife frequently ride their e-bikes on Vermont's numerous backroads, paddle its lakes and rivers, or hike and camp in one of Vermont's beautiful state parks. Spending time traveling to visit family or sitting on a beach in Maine are also important pastimes. He has spent many hours over the years coaching and watching his children participate in soccer, basketball, baseball, softball, and track and field. He can often be found in the stands cheering on former students as they compete at the high school level. he can be reached at awest@wrvsu.org
