A Wisconsin native, Andrea developed an early affinity for history and music and never looked back. Attending Lawrence University, she studied both music education and history with an emphasis on 60's politics and student protest. In 2004 Andrea completed research on the 1970 UW Madison, Sterling Hall bombing. Based on this research Andrea produced Blood On The Third Coast, analyzing the effects the bombing had on the nature of student anti-war protest in the 1960's.

Andrea has acquired extensive experience in commodities trading through her employment with Roger W. Blimling Inc, one of the nation's premiere agricultural commodity futures brokerages.

Andrea recently completed the 2004-2005 concert cycle with the Milwaukee Symphony Chorus.

Andrea enjoys long walks on the beach and strawberry daiquiris.
