Hi, I’m Andrew.
I’m studying aerospace engineering at Purdue and building a hardware company through Entrepreneur First. I trained in PA-28-161 Warriors and have also flown G1000-equipped Cessna 172SPs.
When I’m not building or flying, you might find me climbing, playing hockey, or making something that probably didn’t need to be 3D printed.
