Algonquin

Algonquin, Illinois is where Andy was born and raised. He attended Jacobs High School, which was conveniently directly across the street from his house.

During high school, Andy became heavily involved in student clubs. He founded the Graphic Design Club, founded the Asian Club, and served as President of the National Honor Society (NHS).

High school was where Andy first developed many of the interests that would later shape his college experience, including design, technology, leadership, and community building.
