About Andrew
I am the father of four amazing children: Meredith, Hannah, Hayes and Trevor.
I grew up in Weston, Massachusetts. Went to school at Weston High School, followed by University of Rochester for a BA in Economics, and a Masters in Information Studies at Boston College.
Moved to Wayland, Massachusetts in 1993. Married that same year.
Moved to Frederick, Maryland, where I reside now, in 2000.
Sadly divorced in 2013.
I am a Product Manager for Daedalus Software, helping develop software for hospitals and organ, tissue and eye recovery organizations.
I enjoy sailing, scuba, traveling (especially cruising) and cooking.
I’m both a coffee and Scotch enthusiast (especially single malts from Islay).
I’m a certified hypnotist.
I like to say I know a bit about everything, and have spent my life acquiring knowledge and skills. I would be indispensable in an apocalypse; stick close. Yes, I’m an Eagle Scout.

Wheelock is a distinguished family name, rooted in Cheshire, England. The name is derived from the Welsh chwyl‑og, meaning “winding river”, after the River Wheelock and the village of Wheelock in Cheshire.
Roger Mainwaring, a member of the influential Mainwaring family, released all his claims to the manor of “Whelock” to Hugh de Whelock during the reign of King Henry II.
The surname traveled to Massachusetts in the 1637 with Rev. Ralph Wheelock and his wife and children. Andrew is a descendant of his son Gershom.
Due to Rev. Ralph’s significance in early America as the founder of two towns (Dedham and Medfield) and the first public school in America (where he was the first public school teacher in America), as well as raising funds for the first college: Harvard, several books and sites detail the surname. See wheelockgenealogy.com.
Ralph’s great-great-grandson Eleazar Wheelock founded Dartmouth College in 1769.
