Andrew "Andrew" Spomer is a broad-shouldered and confident man with aboriginal roots. In the summer time, he enjoys basking in the moonlight and wearing leotards (don't get any ideas, ladies). Although he was accepted into 43 different colleges (44 if you carry the one), he will be taking a gap year in order to pursue his dreams of starting a rice farm in the Himalayas. He is allergic to meat and freckles and don't ask him about his elbows.
