Good Day Oregon Weather Anchor

Andy has been around as long as Good Day Oregon. He is one of the original members of GDO, along with Tony Martinez. That was August of 1996. Fast forward to now and Andy has 3 kids. The oldest is married and has three sons.

Andy does not look old enough to be a grandfather, so he goes by "Snoop Pop Pop." Andy and his wife are now empty nesters... most of the time.

Andy has been running for years, including over a half dozen Hood to Coast races, four marathons and one ultramarathon -- 40 miles on his 40th birthday!

On Dec. 12 2017, Andy started streaking... but with clothes. The rule is, he has to run at least 1 mile every day. No matter what. Sick, stuck at an airport, in the middle of cycle Oregon. Once he hits a year, he gets to join an online club of other streakers and see how long he can keep the streak alive.

In addition to Andy's duties doing the weather on Good Day Oregon, he also does a segment called "Andy's Adventures." Andy and his friend and photographer, Uncle Rico, travel all over the state of Oregon, into Washington and even Canada for the adventures.
