Andy jokes that his life growing up was like a Stephen King novel. I thank him for his vulnerability in sharing intimate details of a psychologically dysfunctional family life - forced to live in a basement, sit on a carpet sample, fight for food, get frisked every day by his mother after school for contraband (books), and more. Incredible that his goals today often center on sharing love and kindness.
