He can often be found running on the woodland trails around the Linnanmaa campus, skating on the sea ice, or trying (unsuccessfully) to get his kids to school on time. Andrew has worked on a dairy farm and as a lumberjack in Northern Ostrobothnia, which he likes to refer to as his ‘formal education’.
