Blind since birth, Andrew brings a rare perspective to his stories—one rooted in resilience, nuance, and a deep understanding of what it means to live as someone who doesn’t always fit the mold.

He holds both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in Information Systems Management from Auburn University, and has spent the past 15 years building a career in the software development field. That background gives him a deep appreciation for structure, patience, and the quiet persistence it takes to build something lasting—be it code or story.
Andrew’s fiction blends literary depth with romantic intensity, often following characters who are scarred but striving, guarded yet yearning, and ultimately learning how to show up for themselves and each other. Whether it's a slow-burn love story or an intimate reflection on family, faith, or healing, his writing creates space for softness, strength, and the hope of connection.
Based in Maryland, Andrew shares his life with a loyal guide dog named Alex and two mischievous cats, Spirit and Nova. When he’s not writing, you’ll find him deep in conversation, drinking too much coffee, or dreaming up stories under the steady light of stubborn hope.
