The streams, lakes, rivers and oceans—in these waters, I was shaped.

My name is Andrew. I grew up in Rochester, Minnesota, exploring the waterways of my youth. It wasn’t until survival and combat swim training in the United States Air Force that I found God in the water. As I got older, my adventures and experiences with water continued to teach me the power water has to support life and shape the world. Now, I am a father. Just as water has shaped me into the man I am today, water is shaping my son.

Water is everywhere—calling us, showing us the way, and teaching us to flow around life’s obstacles—and we must protect it. We must be good stewards of the Earth and protect what God has given us, so our children may joyfully explore and thrive in the world we leave them.
