A few weeks ago Andrew and his Cornell teammates helped with a “Feed My Starving Children” event in Ithaca at Trinity Lutheran Church (where my seminary classmate and basketball teammate, Rob Foote, is pastor).  This weekend was Concordia’s turn to help provide nutritional meals for hungry people around the world.  The event was an amazing success.  We hosted 1,363 volunteers who filled 1,516 boxes.  That translates to 327,456 meals already on the way to children who need the food.  Now those are some nice stats!  See the Fox News story here.

Andrew and his friend, Jake Barnett, have been workout partners for a long time. I talk about Jake a little bit in Faith in the Freshman. In this video, Andrew is at the right place at the right time. FOX 6 was doing a feature on Jake’s trip to Bulgaria this summer with Athletes in Action. They also interviewed Andrew and both guys talk about their plans for next year.

In “Faith in the Freshman” I mention that Andrew’s battle with type 1 diabetes began to draw local attention during his senior year at Milwaukee Lutheran. The following video includes a feature that aired several times on Milwaukee’s FOX affiliate in February, 2008.
