Andy is an actor and writer living in Vancouver. He has been a DB semi-regular since the very first Desert Bus For Hope back in 2007. Despite this, he has somehow managed to avoid shouldering any real responsibility concerning the fundraiser, and would appreciate it if you didn’t mention it to the event organizers. He’s got a good thing going; don’t bus it up for him.
