Andrew was the resident morning psychic for many years on Magic 99.7 FM—Columbus’ leading Rock station—and was also featured in a segment on PM Magazine.

He was at one time a featured columnist in The Free Press and has been quoted in front page articles in both The Los 93

Author’s Statement
Back in the late 80's and early 90's I worked as a psychic and astrologer and had a pretty successful career. I had a long running gig as the "Resident Morning Psychic" on a local rock station and a weekly column on metaphysics in The Free Press.
It was fun--for a long time. I jetted around from LA to New Orleans to Washington DC and all points in between and appeared on local and national TV many times, including a nationally televised infomercial with Erik Estrada, Jenilee Harrison and half the cast of General Hospital that aired throughout the U.S. and Canada twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, for about a year and a half.
When my daughter was just a toddler I decided to stop doing readings professionally and "retired" for awhile in 95
order to provide, hopefully, a more "normal" Middle Class environment for my beautiful baby girl.
I set out to prove that a psychic could make it in the big bad business world (something that to most people probably would have seemed impossible); but my ability to analyze (and talk!) allowed me to do just that.
As a Management Consultant, I specialized in Change and Problem Management, Training Development and Delivery, Business Analysis and Strategic Planning and I have been elected twice (in 2000 and again in 2005) for inclusion in Who's Who in American Executives. Weird, I know, but absolutely true.
I have spent many many years reading and studying and "trying to figure it out". I am still trying. When I was young I wandered around the country chanting with Buddhists and hanging with witches and mystics and 96
crazy people and along the way I somehow found time to drop out of several very nice colleges--I was at one time the academic wunderkind, then, later, the creative writing wunderkind. I never did graduate but now have the fancy liberal education of a Ph.D.
My real education is shamanic, metaphysical--out of this world.
Not real resume material. And as a former New Age poster boy,
once labeled “The Psychic Adonis”, I had what is commonly referred to as “attitude.”
In order for me to develop my gifts as a psychic I needed to follow my own--very winding--path. I had to do it "my way"--no matter what it cost me. For now I am content to steal from several religious traditions to make sort of 97
a syncretic spiritual stew--the Sufis, Russian Orthodoxy, the Power Puff Girls, the Jewish Kabbalah, with New Agey stuff everywhere you look and a heavy dose of Paganism for those cold winter nights.
I believe very strongly that GOD exists I believe the essence of GOD is within every creature
I believe in the power of LOVE as a positive, creative, healing force
Spirit and the "Supernatural" are active, pervasive forces throughout the Universe
All Races, Genders, and Nationalities are equal in the eyes of GOD (and in my eyes, as well)
