Born in Caracas, Venezuela, and raised in Long Island, Andy moved to California in 2022 to join the HR team at Santa Barbara Trapeze Co. Coming from a corporate background, he never imagined flying on a trapeze. However, the excitement of the rig setup, the passion of the instructors, and the energy of the classes quickly hooked him! He has accomplished his first thrilling transfer and is eager to learn more tricks.

At Santa Barbara Trapeze Co., Andy works in HR and marketing, helping with payroll, scheduling, marketing, and supporting the leadership team. Though not an instructor, he enjoys being a trapeze student, learning the art of flying through the air.
