Andy got his start in the media business as a contestant on NBC's "The Apprentice." At the age of 22, Andy was the youngest candidate to compete on "The Apprentice." Over 16 million people watched as Andy was "fired" at the end of the series. However, one month later, in real life, Donald Trump "re-hired" Andy to work for him personally. Andy worked directly for Donald Trump for 6 years in New York City and then in Los Angeles.
