Under Andrew's leadership, the girls' team achieved their highest program finish in history, placing fourth at the Georgia Long Course Senior State Championships in 2018, finishing just behind swimming powerhouses Swim Atlanta and Dynamo. While the team's success in the pool is undeniable, Andrew's greatest achievement lies in his ability to cultivate strong relationships with coaches and teams alike. In recognition of his ability to foster relationships, Andrew was appointed as the Junior Coaches Rep of the Georgia LSC in 2022.

Moreover, Andrew played a pivotal role in the growth and development of the Columbus Aquatic Club. During his tenure, the developmental program nearly tripled in size, a testament to his dedication and commitment to nurturing young talent. Additionally, the club's Summer learn-to-swim program also flourished under Andrew's guidance, expanding nearly threefold since his appointment.

Since then, he has worked with a variety of organizations and programs, including the Ridley Area YMCA RAYS, Brookhaven Swim Club, Sun Valley High School, Swarthmore College, Lionville Community YMCA, Pennypacker Country Club, Columbus Aquatic Club, and DC Trident of the International Swimming League.

Among his proudest accomplishments, he coached and developed two of Pennsylvania's top female recruits: Heather MacCausland (NC State, 2018) and Emma Atkinson (VT, 2019), who both earned the number one ranking in the state. He also played a pivotal role in Leah Gingrich's remarkable resurgence since her comeback in 2018. Under Andrew's guidance, Leah achieved over 15 lifetime best performances, became a semi-finalist at Olympic Trials in 2021, and as recently as 2021 has ranked in the top-25 swimmers in the world in her respective events. Under Andrew's leadership, the Lionville team accomplished a series of significant milestones, including their first-ever Olympic Trials qualifier in the 100 breaststroke, Greg Grewal. Additionally, the team produced their first age group swimmer for Senior Nationals and secured their first-ever YMCA State Championship victory. Throughout these achievements, Andrew's guidance was instrumental in helping the team set multiple district, state, and national records. In 2020, Andrew had the opportunity to coach with the DC Trident in the International Swim League, where he worked alongside some of the world's most talented swimmers and established coaches for six weeks, making it a truly one-of-a-kind experience and an unparalleled learning opportunity.

In addition to his coaching achievements, Andrew is also a published author, with several articles on swimming and coaching appearing in various publications. His expertise has also led to interviews with multiple swimming media outlets. Andrew has developed a large social media following in the swimming community, which has resulted in numerous partnerships with some of the industry's leading swimming brands.

At Keystone Aquatics, Andrew brings with him a vision to elevate the program to new heights and establish it as one of the most competitive in the LSC.
