Early Life
Andrea, affectionately known as Annie, grew up in a lively household with three sisters and two brothers. With a finance-savvy father and a nurturing, stay-at-home mom, this big family was full of love, laughter and a touch of chaos. Andrea’s childhood was filled with dance lessons, family performances and spying on her older siblings’ adventures. As a dedicated track athlete in high school, she excelled at hurdles, proving she’s always been ready to leap over any obstacle in her path.

Personal Life
Family is at the heart of Andrea’s world. She and her husband met on St. Patrick’s Day at Silky’s on Beale Street and have been together ever since, raising three active boys (ages 11, 9, and 5) who adore their cousins. Andrea loves beach vacations with her family, running with friends, and indulging in pizza and movie nights at home or going out for Mexican food—complete with queso and margaritas.
Andrea’s favorite pastimes include listening to murder mystery podcasts and diving into cheesy, suspenseful thrillers. Known for her occasional “Andrea-isms,” she embraces her quirky side, always ready to help lost souls navigate the grocery store aisles. Above all, Andrea follows the wise words of her favorite quote by Dolly Parton: “If you see someone without a smile today, give ’em yours.”
