The Rochester native hosts Rochester Today on KROC-AM weekdays from 10 to 11 in the morning.  The lively hour features guests and issues of interest to Rochester residents, including monthly visits by Mayor Ardell Brede, City Attorney Terry Adkins, and Rochester Public Schools Superintendent Romain Dallemand.  Conservative commentator and author Tom Ostrom is a regular and helps Andy dissect the issues of the day on Tuesdays and Fridays.  Rochester Today also features a rotating panel of experts who make themselves available to assist KROC-AM listeners.  The Legal Eagle David Shulman provides advice on legal issues, Dick Zeitler brings decades of experience as a mechanic to Auto Tech 101, and City Forester Jacob Ryg is an expert on trees and an avid promoter of preserving and adding to the community's foilage.  The "U and You" features a monthly visit to the studios by University of Minnesota Extension educators with expertise in a wide range of fields. Rochester Magazine editor Steve Lange also stops by once a month to preview his publication and share his unique sense of humor.

Andy spends the remainder of his time as a member of the KROC news team with over two decades of experience covering local issues and events.
