Andy has loved the performing arts all of this life, however, he will say dancing is not his forte. He moved to Missoula at 18 (from Culbertson, MT) to attend school at UM, fell in love with this beautiful community and stuck around. He is the Executive Director of the Western Montana LGBTQ+ Community Center, works as the Blue Bench Associate with the Montana Democrats, serves on the boards of Run Wild Missoula, Missoula Sunrise Rotary and is the Chair of the Missoula County Democrats. Andy’s happy place is the Missoula Children's Theatre and he loves performing on stage in their community productions. He is thrilled to participate in Dancing with the Arts Missoula Stars this year and is looking forward to the challenge all while raising funds for ARTS Missoula, an incredible local nonprofit that has worked for decades to support our thriving arts scene here in Missoula.
