Andrew brings more than two decades of experience as a newspaper journalist to his role at Momentum Communications Group. He’s worked at The Times-Picayune in New Orleans and Newsday in New York, where he was part of a team that won a Pulitzer Prize for spot news. His work included stories that explained why there’s no easy way to dispose of nuclear waste and others that showed how a prosecutor’s office prevented defendants from getting fair trials by withholding evidence from them. Then, as a supervisor of COVID-19 case investigators during the pandemic, he helped his team explain new and complex health concepts to sick and worried people.

Andrew joined Momentum to help those helping others tell their stories more effectively. The commitment to fairness that buttressed his work in journalism drew him to Momentum. His experience as a reporter and editor helps him understand how best to reach and engage journalists. He also helped a new generation of reporters learn how to find information and explain it when he taught at the Stony Brook University School of Journalism.

Andrew usually writes his notes and outlines with one of his embarrassingly many fountain pens.
