Andrew is one of Australia's most accomplished multi-day desert racers. He has competed in the Marathon des Sables 3 times, in the process, in 2007, becoming the highest placed Australian in the 22 year history of the event (up to that point), and then winning the veterans division in 2008. In 2010 he was second in the inaugural Australian Outback Marathon, and in 2011 he finished third overall in the world's longest multi-stage race, The TRACK Outback Ultramarathon, in central Australia. He runs every day and regularly organises charity running events, including, in 2010, 'The Longest Day' the first ever single day run from Cape Leeuwin to Cape Naturaliste (135km) in SW Western Australia. Andrew lives in Dunsborough, Western Australia, with his family and 2 Abyssinian cats called Henry who tolerate with great kindness his attempt to play the banjo.
