Andrew's Christmas light display has become a neighborhood unifier since 2017. The synchronized lights and music have drawn dance parties of up to 40 people, hundreds of vehicles, and thousands of viewers. The display has created local traditions, from elderly neighbors bringing dinner to parents incorporating it into children's bedtime routines. Despite its popularity, Andrew maintains a strict no-advertising policy.

Andrew finds meditative solace in furniture creation. While occasionally reversing the "measure twice, cut once" adage, he has a talent for transforming live wood into magnificent pieces. He particularly appreciates preserving the natural flow of live edges as nature intended them.
