Meet the team: Andrew

That's right! One more teammate slipped in at the last minute. Andrew lives in Seattle and spends most of his days typing and getting paid for it. In that sense, he is a professional keyboardist, which he may put on his new business cards now that he thinks of it. Andrew's never been too tied down to a place. He's moved cities on average every three years since birth, and moved housing several more times than that. He's also been lucky enough to see a lot of the world traveling, but this big chunk of Eastern Europe and Asia will be all new, and he is incredibly excited.

If you were a car part, what would you be? I would be a turbocharger because it packs more air in to the cylinders and gets more power out of the engine. That's how life should be. Pack as much in as you can, and make the most of what you have.
