Set Designer, Graphic Designer, Photographer, Producer, Director, Writer – that list gives an indication of Andy's eclectic career which has found him as a stage and production manager with the Metropolitan Opera both at the Old and the New, at 21 as the youngest portrait photographer for the then 100-year-old prestigious Bachrach Photographers the nation’s leading photographers, supervisor of the typesetting departments at GTE and GE Capital, having his own typesetting business, raising and showing Borzoi (Russian Wolfhounds), producing dog shows ("only the cast is different"), writing about the Arts in general and specifically about all the operas and recordings he has, in addition to designing and painting sets throughout Fairfield County. Andy along with Stamford Director of Fine Arts George Vollano were producers of the award-winning New Canaan Summer Theatre for 15 years and together they created Stamford's All-School Musical where Andy returned to directing after a 30-year break (he was too busy designing) as well as designing and producing. Though Andy has designed sets for Off-Broadway in New York City, he most prefers working in schools where he can share and instill (think: brainwash) his love of the Arts. In that respect, his 'greatest accomplishments' have been not only the creation of the Stamford All-School Musical, but the group of four murals on the Performing Arts he designed and painted for Joel Barlow High School in Redding and writing the booklets that accompany them. It should be noted that none of the above qualifies Andy to write about opera other than he owns a LOT of opera recordings!
