Anchor / Reporter
Andrew grew up in the majestic ski towns of the Kootenays before moving to Vancouver Island. He enrolled at the University of Victoria, graduating with a degree in Sociology. From there, he decided to act on his long-simmering broadcasting aspirations and headed east to Calgary’s Mount Royal College.
Shortly after completing the Broadcasting program, Andrew began news reporting and anchoring for CTV in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. He quickly changed gears, moving over to the sports desk in Saskatoon. But, after a couple of years trying to suppress the BC-itch, returned to news and to Vancouver Island, where he married a Victoria girl and has started a family.
His career highlights include covering the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver, travelling with the David Foster Foundation to visit children receiving life-saving organ transplants across the country, and, one of his first assignments, a lawnmower race in St. Louis, Saskatchewan.
Andrew most enjoys the writing and storytelling aspect of his job as well as the daily reality of the news business that when you wake up in the morning and head to work, you never quite know where you’ll end up.
Andrew is active in community events and is proud to represent CTV News.
