He has worked in nearly every part of the auto industry, from dealer showrooms and service bays to the ad agencies and PR teams of some of the world’s largest automakers. His love for cars and wrenching can be directly traced to a ratty Triumph TR6 his father brought home when Andrew was 11, an experience that taught the joys of troubleshooting, late nights on garage floors and, occasionally, driving.
