Life and career

Andrews was born Birmingham, Alabama and raised in Dothan, Alabama.^{[citation needed]} His father was a minister of music and his mother played piano, organ, and directed the church's children’s choir programs. When Andrews was 19, he lost his mother (41) to cancer and his father (44) in an automobile accident within the span of a few months. After the death of his parents, Andrews spent over a year homeless on the coast of Alabama. It was during this time that he read more than 200 biographies and came up with "The Seven Decisions" that eventually shaped the manuscript of his 2002 novel The Traveler’s Gift.

Before beginning to write, Andrews worked as a stand-up comedian and toured extensively with Joan Rivers, Kenny Rogers, Randy Travis, Garth Brooks, Cher, and Chaka Khan.

Andrews was also a diamond in Amway's MLM business which allowed him to earn money from conventions and meetings.

He currently is the CEO of Creating Measurable Results, a corporate and sports consulting firm. His business book, The Bottom of the Pool—Thinking Beyond Your Boundaries To Achieve Extraordinary Results, released in 2019, was named by Forbes as one of the 7 Books Every Entrepreneur Must Read.^{[citation needed]}

Andrews is an alumnus of Auburn University.
