Andy is in his final year of law school at Quinnipiac University. While in law school, Andy focused his training on health policy, the legislative process, education law, poverty law, and civil rights law.  Additionally, Andy completed several externships that enriched his understanding of Connecticut citizens' legal challenges. These externships included a summer internship at UCONN Health, Office of The General Counsel, a second-year internship in the Antitrust and Government Program Fraud Section of the Connecticut Attorney General’s Office, and a third-year externship at the Connecticut State Office of Health Strategy. From this education and experience, Andy has developed insight into the legislative process for enacting policy changes for the rights of special needs children, the rights of children with disabilities under civil rights law, and interagency dispute challenges for medically complex children.

Prior to law school, Andy obtained his medical degree from The Ohio State University Medical School.  He completed his internship and residency at Duke University Medical Center and a cardiology fellowship at The University of Texas Health Science Center in Dallas.  Andy practiced cardiology at Danbury Hospital for thirty years, serving as Chief of Cardiovascular Services and Chief Medical Officer.
