Andrew attended university in New Zealand for 3 years and after careful consideration of the lectures on offer after 10 am and before 3 pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and Linguistics.

In 1994, after an application for a position as the Queen's philosopher was turned down, Andrew alongside Dwane van der Sluis invented a double skinned inflatable sphere commonly known as the zorb ball.

For the next 12 years Andrew ran the company that brought zorbing to the world, developing franchises in over 12 countries from China to Slovenija, dealing with all issues relating to product and merchandise design, marketing, insurance, intellectual property and brand and experience development.

Numerous television shows from many countries around the world have been foolish enough to interview Andrew, who has embarassed himself throughout North America, Asia, Australasia and Europe. So far Central/South American and African audiences have been spared his stories of the time he bounced down the volcanic cone or the one about the tornado.

After leaving the original company in 2006 Andrew wandered the earth for 12 months seeking out and destroying evil as he found it. (Turns out he didn't come across much evil so mainly rode his motorbike through parts of Canada and slept on his buddy's couch.)

Andrew believes the Chinese strategy game 'Go' should be taught in all schools, that freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose and that more funding should be put into teleportation research.

That's all.
