Who Captain Andy Really Is

Now that is the question. I think the best way to find out is to read some of the stories in the stories section of this Webpage. Here I will be brief and just offer lables.

I am a surfer. I am a carpenter, a guitar player, drifter, sailor, avid book reader, movie lover, passionate man, excellent dancer, cook, humanist, anti-nationalist, traveler, mountain climber, intelligent and creative human being. I was a biochemist. I was a baker, a cannery worker, a chemistry tutor, an eager student, a sad hearted youth. I will be a firefighter, a writer, a lover, a kind husband, a great father, a blue water sailor, a webpage builder, and a loving son and brother.
