Andre is a proud Seattle native. He grew up in the southside of Seattle and graduated from Garfield High School. Andre moved on to attend Washington State University (GO COUGS). Naturally, he loves ALL Seattle sports, well except for the Huskies of course. He also loves animals. Sloths, giraffes, mantis shrimp, and German Shepherds to be exact. Andre has worked at Friends-Seattle for 3 ½ years and he loves seeing the youth grow every day. He also loves that as a mentor every single day is different, exciting, and challenging. He currently lives in Covington with his wife and dog.
