Andrew, a 1994 graduate of UC Davis, has been involved with the
sport of water polo for many years in Marin County, Northern
California, and on a national level.
Locally, he began working
with the Marin Water Polo Club in 1989 when it had approximately 20
active members. Since then he has worked with local communities and
swim programs to expand that number to over 200. Both the men's and
women's programs continue to grow. His women's program has
had teams that have placed at all levels in the National Junior

outside the local club system. Andrew's players have gone on

country.
