Andy discovered the world of puppetry at a young age. Inspired
by artists such as Shari Lewis, Tom Tichenor and Jim Henson, Andy created his own puppet characters using simple household materials. Throughout high school and college, Andy developed his skills by designing and performing puppets for mainstage theater productions. He also kept busy studying and performing in musical theater. Andy went on to spend nearly three years with Vee Corporation's Costumes and Creatures division. While at Vee, he built puppet characters for Bear in the Big Blue House Live, and assisted with characters for Sesame Street Live and Dragon Tales Live. Most recently, Andy began puppeteering for Sesame Street productions in New York. Other credits include Snigglezoo Entertainment's The Money Mammals, Igby's Day Off from Simple Films, Playhouse Disney Live, Disney's Ugly Bug Ball and TJ3 Production's The Crayon Court. Andy is also currently co-creating an original puppet television series for children. |
