About Andrew - In his own words
I'm a product and culture person. When I use a product, I'm subconsciously taking notes of new ways of doing things that can be applied to the products I create. When I learn about another company's culture, I'm doing the same.
As my role has shifted from product building to company building, I've become a bit obsessed with understanding what makes people their most productive and happiest. I want to understand what the key things are that make people look back and say "Those were the best work years of my life". And then figure out how to those in our culture now.
Beyond product and culture, I seem to have a knack for picking up new skills & understanding things quickly. After starting out as the business-focused founder of GooseChase, I successfully taught myself how to code (web, iOS & Android) and switched to the technical lead, just because it needed to be done. I love taking data points & insights from a variety of places and combining them to evolve my understanding of something, even if it doesn't seem particularly relevant right now. If I'm not learning, I'm not having fun!
And lastly, I really, really love burritos. To the point that the 🌯 emoji has been "given" to me at GooseChase - I don't know if that's a good thing or not, but I'll take it!

CEO / Co-Founder
I am the Co-founder and CEO of Goosechase, the world's first - and best! - interactive experience platform.
My academic background is in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Waterloo, Canada. In my last year of university, I was accepted into Velocity, the University of Waterloo’s Entrepreneurship Residence. Goosechase was born a few weeks into the final term at a Hackathon on campus.
We built the platform for the weekend and afterward, we were bombarded with questions about when it would be ready for launch. The idea grew and now we’re here!
